Hi guys, i have some serious problems with my ATI 5870.
I already show my issues to Fl0r!an, and he tells me that my EEPROM is 80byte to small to build a MAC Compatible rom.
I added my rom on the bottom of this Topic.
Maybe someone has a solution for me? or do i have to soldering a new EEPROM Chip?
Thanks guys.
Card Number is ATI-102-C00101(B)

starting a whole new thread when there are existing threads is bad form, especially when asking for free help
I am fairly sure you could find an answer here, you would have to dig a little

Throwing out some unnecessary strings from the EFI might work, there's a lot of carbage in there. I could try this when I find the time, maybe at the weekend.

I've the same problem.
What card do you have? I've an Asus EAH 5870 v1.
Is it possible to copy the EFI part of the rom from my original Apple card?

You would have to take netkas' EFI, the original one only runs on genuine Apple cards.
If you've already tried making more room by moving the last section as far to the bottom as possible (that's not enough for the OP's card) you'd have to wait for me to do what I've said in my last post (or do it yourself).

Okay, compressed EFI part is shrunk by one block (512 bytes), so it should now fit easily on your (cogliostro) card. I did some quite ugly quick'n'dirty stuff, hope EFI still works, didn't test it.  Should give bootscreen on upper DVI if it works. |

move the mcuc lookup table for GDDR5, take space off the end
search for posts by me a few years back
move table and the lookup address
Florian, I think I see an error, you made one length indicator be 0x53 and the other is 0x54

We already tried that, there isn't enough room even when moving the 2nd mcuc as far as to the end as possible.
Will have a look for the error later, sry.
EDIT: You're totally right, wasn't aware there was a 2nd indicator, fixed that.

And I will tell you what I would do if moving stuff around doesn't work.
Go to tech power and look through bios collection.
Try flashing with a rom from another manufacturer with same clock speeds and ports. But have it be rom with space inside.
If it works with PC rom, then go to trouble to mac EFI mods.
Especially if a reference PCB this is easy.
BTW, this is why I get so frustrated with people having trouble with 7950 and 7970 roms, the earlier AMD roms were more effort. Chopping the thing in half and matching device ids is much easier.

Yeah I already suggested this in the other thread (or via PM? don't remember).
In the modified EFI I've shortened all those useless strings (e.g. 'C:/EFI/blabla/xyc.c'). Shouldn't hurt normally, but maybe I've accidentially deleted something necessary, did it quite quick & dirty.
