This isn't quite the same, but I use the 6200 (PCI) because it's the fastest PCI card that is fully supported in OSX 10.4.11 on my B&W G3/G4 450 upgraded machine. If someone knows of a faster PCI OSX supported card please let me know.
I had to flash it and it was only 40 bucks a couple years ago and yes it was easy to do. So I totally agree with the below comments. I get 1024/768 256 colors in OS9 but full accell and full colors with full resolution switching in OSX. It makes that G4 450 machine seem MUCH faster than it really is especially in OpenGL apps etc.
I don't need much color space in os9 on that machine since I use it mainly for file archiving and stuffing and hqxing of the sort then flip back over to OSX land to do everything else, or use the other B&W G3 350 machine next to it that has the Sonnet pci video card in it that works great with OS9, but not OSX.
