Just on the subject of firmware flashing these cards, I encountered a nasty problem about two years ago while doing this.  Unfortunately I do not remember the version of the tool, nor the version of firmware involved.  Long story short is the flash literally fried one of my CybervisionPPC cards, which was attached to a Cyberstorm MKIII 060 card at the time I was flashing firmware to it.  Though the graphics card crashed and burned (smoke,buring plastic and everything..), amazingly the MKIII went unscathed.  Even the firmware flash was 'successful'.  Lesson learned for me is to always remove a CybervisionPPC graphics card before doing one of these firmware loads.  I still have the CybervisionPPC card if anyone wants to buy it really cheap.  :roll:
