Sorry to link to another website, but that's where I've posted the sale, so hopefully this is okay. Please contact me on the Falconfly forums or bid in the thread.

There actually is no model number on the card. I just gave it another once-over, and, well, nope.

I haven't booted it in a while, but I should givei t a try sometime and see what I can do.

I didn't see any, but I didn't look too hard, either. I'll check again when I get home tonight (7:30 MST [GMT-7])

haha, it's a pretty neat thing to have around.

Looks like I've got this on the card: 210-0389-01-A1

And the ram, in case you were wondering, is 6ns hyundai ram: HY57V653220B

On the chip itself is:
500-0030-00
60467 SS
0001 20005
TAIWAN 18101

And in pencil, on the chip itself, it says "F51".

Enough #'s for ya? ;)

Actually, that's my card. It's a Voodoo 4 Engineering sample, with 32 megs of ram onboard. The Bios, on boot, says that it's a "Voodoo 5 6000 rev 0.28" I got it for about $50 on ebay over a year ago.

The card runs, but with graphical artifacts. I tried flashing it with a V4 4500 Bios at one point, but that made things worse, so I re-flashed it to the bios it had onboard.

Here are two more pictures:





I still have it... it sits in a drawer, along with my blank Voodoo 3 PCB.

Edit:// Having just read through the rest of this thread, perhaps these lines from the 3dfx Source Code for BIOS stuff can help:
Sorry for the large size. The headers are as following:


Assy # | DWG # | Bus | RAM | Speed | TV | LCD | Product Name | BIOS Name | vgabios_opt = (Old build option scheme) | vgabios_opt=
(New build option scheme) | PCI Subsystem | DEVICE ID (PCI2C[31:16])

The best bet here was talked about by Hank Semenec over at the x-3dfx forums -- which would be adding an extra 64 megs of ram to a normal V5 5500 -- making a 128 meg V5, with 64 megs/chip. 4xFSAA would run better, I think we decided, but that was about it.

you'd still have a buggy card with old drivers, heh. And you'd need someone to make you a bios.

This isn't a driver issue, really... the Quake3 Test is just an early version of Quake 3 and -EXTREMELY- prone to crashing. So get in and get your screenshots while you can...

Or look at mine. :) http://myst.no-ip.org:20000/images/3dfx/mb/quake3/

Blackowitz: Try "addbot orbb". Also, I'm sure you can find someone to play with you. :) Quake3 Test 1.08 w/ motion blur is sweet.
