I have 10.5.8 installed, and the original CD as well as the update.

There are a few ATI kexts, one has a name similar to Prionace (this is
the OFW name for the card) and is 788k. Not sure what size we're looking
for...Does sysutils/binwalk identify/pull PCI ROMs yet? Between that and
hexedit are my usual tools for firmware analysis. Unfortunately I might
not be able to hack on this till after Thanksgiving.
