Are there any OSX drivers for the Formac ProFormance3 Video card?

Like the subject says, I'm trying to setup an old Mac. It has a G4 upgrade and proformance3 video card. OSX went on fine, but the video sucks. Anyone know how to make this card work?

    Formac abandoned the ProFormance cards after cancelling the ProFormance 4. There are no OS X drivers available, and no plans to write any.



    Sorry.

    That sucks. I have 2 Macs sitting here, ready for OSX w.G4 upgrades and (now) unsupported video. I have been trying to get an answer from Formacs tech support. After this experience, I will never buy from them again.



    Anyone know where I could find a used Radeon Mac Edition? (original)

    Original Radeon?

    I think ebay is the only place. If you just need decent 2D performance <a href="http://www.wegenermedia.com/"; target="_blank">http://www.wegenermedia.com/</a>;

    do sell some original 128 cards.



    It is a pity that the nVIDA 2MX PCI cards that are very cheap can not be used by mac as they are about on par with the original Radeon.

    Same feeling here. I have a SCSI Card from Formac that has also no drivers.
