Very early (44-99) pre-production single chip VSA-100. I know of only three in the world, I have one and Patience one of the others. The Avenger with TV and LCD output is my favorite of the bunch- A never seen before combo (ultra rare 3dfx LCD chip, and old logo to boot)

Oh Okay.

Well I'm not sure but "Donovan" is probably Irish. I'm from German descent myself. Most Americans are from other parts of the world. We are like the big melting pot of the world. The only native Americans are American Indians. At least that's what I've been taught in the American public school system Wink

Gary's a pretty lucky guy, don't you think?

Well at least I consider him lucky to have such a collection Grin

Correct, from my fathers side of the tree. Mom's grandparents were from Germany.

And even that's a joke since its been suspected they came over the land bridge between USSR and Alaska.

For the record I abhor the PC titles "Irish-American" or "African-American" etc. etc. You are either American (in my case of course) or you are not, I see no reason to hyphenate my national identity.

It's one thing to acknowledge where your from, quite another to place it first before your homeland. In my eyes it shows disrespect to the nation you are calling home.

Sorry for the rant.

Is to say, if has it enabled the option DVI and TV through of the 3Dfx Tool? Bios recognizes the card with 64Mb? ps. Congratulation for the deal! Regards, Oscar

Reply #57 - 28.02.05 at 21:35:01 I have verified the card does indeed have 64 MB of ram (compared the ram markings to another board) Will try firing it up later this afternoon, right now I'm working on the broken 4500 along with the typical few hundred other things that happen on Mondays. "More advanced then everyone" mousepads anyone?

Reply #59 - 28.02.05 at 22:01:38 I'm only keeping a few, the rest are for board members who asked me to bid for them so eveything would come in one package and save on shipping. The rest I'll just sell off for a few bucks each.
