Title: 3dfx Accelerator Upgrade Add-on card?
Post by janskjaer on 02.02.04 at 12:31:27

Does anyone know what this is :)?

It has been described by someone as a:

3dfx 3D Graphics Accelerator add-on for a Graphics Card

My thought is, is that it is a memory upgrade for a Voodoo1/Rush card, maybe? It's described as having 2Mb(maybe 4Mb) of memory onboard, so i think it could probably boost an accelearator's board memory? :-/

If it is what I think it is, how would this attach to the card? ???

This looks like the daughter board of a Hercules Stingray 128/3D (Voodoo Rush).

I'm not sure the Dual Planar designs were all identical, but it should be possible to attach it to any Dual Planar capable Voodoo Rush.

Might be in order to achieve 6MB ? I'm not sure...

Would this include the Macronix MX 86251?
Or is that single planar?

While we are on the subject, could you explain a little on the differences between single and double planar, and how the differences are identified?

Cheers. :)
