It's getting rarer with every post you make! 

But I'm wondering what happened.
I can only see 3 pictures! The last 2 Pics are not accessible for me.

I think you should make a kind of detailed graphic cards museum! 

It's a shame BitBoys never made their promises come true, every time they promised a card they never could get to these promises, thereby delaying the cards and never making a revolution and even a single production run as 3Dfx did multiple times, so even how rare these cards may be, they won't be worth much to most collectors out there, maybe worth a few hundred and maybe a lot less.

you can have something very rare but if most people never heard of it they won't give something for it.

So as the rarity factor goes, these things could be rare to a very high degree but what they are worth wouldn't be as much as Voodoo5 6000 for example.

Very cool that you have a few if these card and that some of them work though,, it does unreveal the secrets of Bit Boys that they did build something heh.

That is true though, it only takes two that want it badly enough.

As for exactly why Bitboys had so many problems, Dave Barron wrote a good piece of history on it, and gives us a good insight why they didn't get something up. Most of it wasn't their fault, a real shame, because Bitboys was real, and nice people may I add as well.

Personally, I think you need to start talking for yourself, a lot of the times you try and speak for others, where they have already displayed their greatest interest for things that aren't just limited to 3dfx.

Would you say to your "Ex-ATI Engineer" that your EX R600 sample was worthless?

3dfx, is nice. But just sticking to that is a bit like eating sweets your whole life, sure it's nice, but you are missing out on some other interesting things.

In the history of 3D, 3dfx is just a part, a very nice part, but there are other companies/brands that are interesting as well.

Judging from your posts a day, your not doing so well yourself then. lol

Nope.

Does it have to? What does that have to do with having a rare board?

I have a few rare proto ATI & Trident boards and may obtain a few other samples, I find interest in many things.

Thanks!

I will try my best, the hunt is still on for a good number of prototypes, I'm not sure if I will ever get there, but I will try.

I don't think drivers ever materialised unfortunately, in fact, they didn't even have time to bring up the board properly. I can check again though, haven't heard from Mr. Tuomi lately, must be very busy, as have I been.
