Identifying help needed
30.06.05 at 16:21:37

Got some new hardware... but I have problems identifiying some of it.
If anyone can help I'll describe my (problematic) cards...

1.
V1 quite identical to a Guillemot Maxi Gamer 3D
The pcb is somewhat olive green (not ordinary green pcb) instead of the original's orange/brown...
the inscriptions are all the same besides... there is no "Maxi Gamer 3D" on the front - bottom - right, no FCC on back - bottom - left, and in front - top - middle instead of a "GT M 94v-0" there is some wierd logo/syimbol and a "M102 94V-0" inscription (date 1298 )

2.
V1 after a detailed pcb confrontation I found out that it has alot similar pcb design like the guillemot but without J6 and J7 pads on front - left - top/bottom (pcb is green)
on front - left - top there is a "CE-402" and below it a "94V0" inscription
on back - left - middle there is a "43DXH1S0" inscription and on back - right - top a sticker with barcode and "C807003194" inscription. (date 9809)

See if you can help me (hope I'm not asking too much)

Obi-Wan_Kenobi Ex Member	Re: Identifying help needed Reply #10 - 11.07.05 at 12:15:15 the green one looks like from Card expert aka Gainward, but why isn't there a sticker on the back of the card that tells from what vendor it is, that's what I think is rather odd.

Stickers can tell more when they are avalable.
