Fastest compatible is X850 XT, but there is no reduced ROM, it means you have to try to reduce it yourself, or solder new 128 MB ROM on graphics card and use Original ATI PPC ROM.
I've tried several times flashing an X850 XT with "reduced" ROM but with no luck. Aaand its possible that it's bricked now, as it won't work with PC, even with its original BIOS.
It's worth mentioning that some cards cannot be flashed for Mac (like some "SE" versions of Radeon 9800) while others would randomly work or not (like many 9600's).

P.S. and I don't know, if this flashed cards are working with MorphOS, but probably yes - maybe here is some user who can confirm this?
That's another issue. The flashed cards often seem to work, but they might fail at some point showing glitches/wrong colours or working slower than expected.
MorphOS-Team members seem to advise against using flashed graphics cards.
