I tryed flashing my Sapphire 9800 pro(360core) to the XT. i was using atiflash and a geocube bios. i dont have a floppy, so i used a cdrom boot disc. when i started to flash, it gave me a error and froze up. i have a old ati 7500 pci card, and tryed to reflash my 9800 with my old bios. but i still get errors when trying to flash. most of the time it says "Flash not detected". does atiflash have a website or some kind of help? can anyone help me out?

Well most video cards aren't made to be flashed to another card... ;) Maybe try the modified flashrom from this site, seemed to work for others.
