Bios wanted: Original FirePro V7800 or V8800

[@rne]

Hey guys,
im looking for an original bios file of Firepro V7800 or V8800.
If anyone has such a card and may dump the bios file, i would really appreciate your work.


Thanks

The reason why im searching is that im trying to convert my hd5850. Yes, there have been several attempts to do this through a softmod but i wanted to try the method via bios.

I found two sections where the device ID is located in the biosfile and changed them simply with a hex editor. This method was sufficient including the H4XXX Series but this time it seems there is an additional lock. After flashing the modified bios its still unchanged.
Im not sure if theres something more to work in bios (this is why i want to flash an original firepro bios) or there is something on the card itself which does the identification.

Unfortunately, there is no bios on the internet ever.

I could be of your service (and i'd love to, since i like bios-mods a lot) but i cancelled my v7800 and awaiting for v7900 to be available here...

except from this forum you can always send a pm to any user that has uploaded a v7800 video on utube...sometimes you can get help out of nowhere...

...hope you get somewhere with this...i just subbed to watch the outcome...
