Radeon 9800 cards from G5s can't be hacked this way. They're AGP Pro cards and actually use some data on that extension. The Geforce FX 5200 cards are AGP Pro, but the extension can just be dremeled off and they'll work with the 2 pins disabled.
PC cards are another thing entirely (And something I haven't gotten to far into yet). The people at the Strange Dogs forum have got flashes for all sorts of cards, including 9800's, X800, Geforce 6200 and 6600. I believe they've got the 6800 working, but don't care for it because it can't be made work in a cube.
I'd like to get into the PC video card flashing, but there's too much overhead for me to start in it right now. I've only got one main system to test in, and it's hard to justify buying too many cards when you only have one G4 to use them in. That, and modifying the G5 cards is just so much easier.
I'd be willing to start in on it as a service, but I'd need to talk with OWC Larry first to get permission to post about it here. (Since there'd be money involved and all).
