Hi,
I have a very complex -at least for me- situation and I need advice. I have a half NX7000(no LCD) and got a videocard(9200/32M) with it. When starting up the machine, it displays on the external screen something like "M7 CL LOPEZ". After that screen gets garbled, !but! machine starts  to boot  linux from a boot CD.
I suppose it must do something with the video BIOS being flashed as ATI7500(aka M7). I would like to flash a proper 7500 BIOS in the machine, but unfortunately I cannot boot windows and I couldn't find a DOS utility to flash video BIOS blindly.
Do you have any idea how can I solve the problem without buying a used 7500 based card?
Thanks,
Chris

As far as I am aware, the Video BIOS is loaded on the video card itself and not in the normal BIOS.  If you have a 9200 currently, I don't see any possible way that it is flashed with the wrong BIOS, the flash program wouldn't even complete that.  As far as what the actual problem is, I am at a loss.
