I doubt that.. I've scrubbed the 0xAA55 from several VGA cards so I
could plug them into a factory bios system and not have the VGA
enabled. None of them ever went ahead and ran the bios.

Without a correct header I don't see how it could have ever worked in
a factory system. I have several S3 cards and they don't seem broken
to me.
