Maybe, if it has an OF ROM it's likely you can use it. Machfb supports 
most mach64, notable exceptions are ancient ones ( which map only one 
BAR, no idea what exactly is wrong there since these cards seem to be 
pretty rare and I don't have one. Those were retroactively renamed to 
Mach64 before ATI came up with the Rage name, the number on the chip 
would be something like 88xxx and it would have 2MB VRAM or less ), 
some mobile variants ( Rage LT ) and some Rage XL ( again, no idea 
what's wrong - no hardware ). If yours is a (3D) Rage I, II or Pro it 
should Just Work. If the card works in MacOS then we'll likely be able 
to use it, either with machfb ( exceptions above ) or ofb for the rest.
OpenFirmware should see the card - there should be an entry named 
ATY,Mach64 or something similar under /bandit. Let output-device point 
at it and OF should wake up with console on the ATI card.

have fun
