flashing + mods for various cards for os9 (9250, 9000, 7000)
http://themacelite.wikidot.com/9250-trick
im surprised on macelite theres no info about flashing 9200 radeon pci cards (for use in agp ppc machines as second display or a pci only b&W g3)
undoubtedly because they choose to focus on mac os x + faster cards
BUT
they do have this pag on modding the 9250
at the bottom of the page he says :

Actually, RADEON9250 PCI or AGP cards can also be accelerated under OS9 with drviers I made. Feel free to send me an PM and I will be glad to help you. Be sure that you must let me believe that you are an end user but not an e-bay (or other sites) seller.but it doesnt say WHO is the person to PM or email
i believe we have those files (recently reposted by mactron)

why am i reposting this?
im trying to figure out a good available radeon 9200/9250 PCI pc card.. to flash!!!
it seems all cards dont work because this resistor modification needs to be done
i tried to flash the card that i have which is a powercolor 9250

and the flash worked fine.. but the video was scrambled..
i beleive thats because of this resistor..
and because i was using it in a 66mhz pci slot (on the g3 b&W)
ok i see now the above was written by "tomeJapan" who is a member on the cube owners forum

Great work 
Your 9250 have the Mac Os ROM inside, I guess?

I flashed the card with the reduced R127 ROM from the macelite downloads.
Device ID 5961 is a 9200SE, which is very similar to the 9250. This is why I chose to replace that one. Plenty of other choices but this seemed to be the closest match from a hardware point of view.
In the meanwhile I put up the whole set of extensions I have installed to get accelerated video here if someone wants to play with it: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/ati-radeon-9250-mac-os-9-drivers
