3dfx Archive - IBM Voodoo 4 4200?

janskjaer Ex Member	Re: IBM Voodoo 4 4200? Reply #210 - 25.07.04 at 23:16:53 Regarding the seller selling another of the cards, ... I told you all so! I've come across far too many sellers like this. The fact that he knows he is onto a good thing and has such a sought after item, has gone to his head and he seems to be on a power trip the way he talks to Gary.

Kudos on getting it to FINALLY work @Patience! 8) Could we have some screens now? ??? Also, it would be a good idea to LOCK this thread and start a new thread with the screen shots (this thread is turning into a 'monster' like the eBay one). Nuff said!

Reply #215 - 11.10.04 at 07:40:49 Probably been asked before but I don't have the time to look for the answer: Do you guys (and girl(s)) suppose these cards have these 'issues' because of the amount of RAM? Would 32MB solve these issues?

I just have one question that might be of vital importance:

The cards were pulled from IBM systems.
Don't most of IBM's systems use Unix or so?

Lady Luck strikes again!

I had a friend on mine bid & win on a few of good ol' Bobs cards before he got greedy and started offering them at $49.99

I figured if I was lucky one would function, hence buying more then one.

(Long story, I was banned from bidding for asking questions, go figure)

So now I have 2 cards sitting on my desk.... One is the typical A1 revision with gold connectors & contact points, heatsinks and color green......

The other is a deep green, has 3 week eariler date, has hand lettering (A12) on it in several places.... no heatsinks... some hand reworked wiring.... and is revision A0.

SWEET!

I'll let you know if it works later! Busy day today!

@gdonovan - you JAMMY SWINE! TWO of 'em!!! Shocked

Anyhow, shock has now subsided... Roll Eyes

What's that on the back of the A0 card? ???

Is it a SMT resistor with a bit of green wire - an 'in-house' rework perhaps? ???

Also, an idea - it would be cool if BOTH cards worked...but if one of them doesn't, you could take it's RAM and put it onto the back of the other card to get a 32MB version... Grin

...just a thought! Roll Eyes

1) Yes it is an inhouse rework, I have a few 3dfx & Quantum cards with bits of wire like that.

2) Already have given that some thought! (adding ram)

Just a thought I think I might have uttered before but can't recall- The more I look at these cards the more I think our friend bob is lying about how he obtained them.

What are the odds 3dfx sent a A0 board to IBM for use in a server? Pretty damn slim if you ask me, I bet bob found them in a dumpster.

If anyone is interested in a non-functioning 4200 drop me a line, I have one I'll be getting rid of.
