A buddy has a Taito Type X2 with a bad ELSA GLADIAC 979 GS video card.
I heard that you can re-purpose a GeForce 7900 GS video card to work with an X2 by re-flashing the 7900 bios with the ELSA GLADIAC 979 GS Bios. And would like to give it a try with an extra 7900 GS that I have laying around.
I found the GeForce 7900 GS video card flashing utilities. Now all I need is the ELSA GLADIAC 979 GS Bios. But, of course, I can't find it. (And Nvidia says that they only have the drive files and that I need to contact ELSA to get the Bios files.) So, does anybody know where I can download the GLADIAC 979 GS Bios?
Or, do you guys think that this will require some SMD/T Bios chip swap on the cards?

Also wondering if anybody has ever tried an NVIDIA GeForce 979 GT in an X2.

Here is the Nvidia re-flashing utility in case anybody wants to try it out.

I just followed the instructions and used it to make a backup of my 7900 GS bios. And it works fine.
