I have the mac rom for voodoo 3 2000 and voodoo 3 3000.

I flashed a voodoo 3 2000 PCI with PC under MS-DOS but I didn't test it on power mac for now.

MacOS X strangely don't recognize the card but MorphOS recognize it.

I have a flashed 9200 in my G4 Powermac MDD 1.5 OC (flashed by jim, highly recommended)and it works fine under both leopard and 2.7 . I did not need any drivers AFAIK, but it did need a reset the first time under leopard. This is perfect setup until we get 3D for the R300 series.
My Macs:
Powerbook G4 ALU 1.5GHZ 15" 1.5GB OSX.5.8
Powermac G4 MDD 1.5GHZ OSX.5.8 MOS2.7

Want a part for a Mac? Let me know, I'll see what I can do.

Amithlon is amazing, questions and help I can provide.

I finally tried a Voodoo4 PCI in my PowerMac and can confirm that the MorphOS driver doesn't work properly. I remember that we adjusted the PCI setup for Pegasos systems on early quark init for Voodoo4/5 cards which is not possible for PowerMac. The driver will start but the screens will be rendered with messed up colours. It's not sure yet if this can be fixed for a future release.
Voodoo3 should work OK, though. You can use a standard PC BIOS card if you only want to use it with MorphOS.

Thanks Frank, I've got a Voodoo3 around somewhere. I always liked that card.
