Anybody know where I can get a bios for this card? It's not available on the ATI site. I tried installing a hacked bios to allow overclocking, but during the install, the original bios wasn't backed-up. Now the card is acting strange. HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!! Thank you.
ati radeon 9500 pro 128

@ rage3d is the place to get the bios 
I don't have bioses available lol...
whenever flashing to another bios it is HIGHLY recommended to backup the previous one... but I am sure you have learnt that now
one thing to note... though the new bios may allow you to clock higher... remmeber that the memory is only rated to a certain level... and it is possible to go beyond the memory's rated speed when oc'ing with a separate bios ( I am assuming you are flashing with the 9700pro bios ?)
the 9700pro == 256bit memory bus v/s 128bit memory bus for the 9500pro and you can't do anything to make your 9500pro a 256bit memory bus card
there are some 9500 non-pro cards on 9700 non-pro pcb's that you could flash to enable the 4 extra pipelines and make it 256bit bus... though I believe ati has cracked down on this... hence you are very unlikely to be able to buy one... (unless it is from a company which stockpiled these pcb's)
moral of the story... be careful when oc'ing after flashing your bios

This place has a nice set.
Better than warp11 , thats for sure.
Made to fit different cards and there memmory.
Not all 9500 Pros are made the same you know.

Still though, no one seems to have the original Bios for a Sapphire card.

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone.
Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
