ok, the chip actually arrived, did the 3.3v mod and swapped the chip

took several attempts but finally got dosflash to report code 0.

the card seems to be reporting it's self just like yours do.

however when i plugged a drive in i got nothing.... went to reboot and the b/w g3 has decided to start not booting again. hopefully it is just a bad sata cable (had this when testing cards before)

Edit: replaced the sata cable and it seems to be working cloneing my boot disk to it now... then we will see if it's bootable
