Actually thanks to the help of this group I've been able to flash the card back to the original BIOS. I've been experimenting flashing BIOS from different cards based on the same chipset for years. Never had a problem before as long as the cards were all based closely to the reference board. However with the more recent cards some manufactures have incorporated hardware checks to discourage experimentation. I'm going to foward the file to Zoiah so that someone else may benefit. Thank for the help.
