Could you search for bugs that relate to radeon 7200 problems and report 
your success with getting the 7200 video card working again?

I tried one during the FC3Tx phase and it locked up the machine on boot. 
I no longer have the card, since someone needed a video card for another 
OS.

Getting this card working again would be desired for others that still 
have the card.

Thanks!

Jim
