Re: Toshiba TC8512 Gouraud Shading Processor

From a Discord I was on tonight: thedodgegarage says that Akebia had a TMS34020-based card called "Stride" with an available TC8512 add-on card but can't find any other sources or pictures for that yet. And there's some mention of a company called Division making a VR system based on 80860s and …
Toshiba TC8512 Gouraud Shading Processor
Posted on 2021-04-13, 19:33
And just when you think you've heard of all mid-90s 3D chips, here's the Toshiba TC8512 Gouraud Shading Processor: SKUs: TC8512G, TC8512YM. AKA "TC8512G/YM". Nicknames seem to be "HSP" or "HSP-1", short for "High Speed Shading Processor" or maybe "High Speed graphics Processor". https://datasheet. …

I wonder if the NEC one was the PowerVR card that had no video output but rather sat in the PCI bus and used the 2D card's RAM and video output. I checked my notes and any other NEC badged PC graphics chip, the timeline doesn't work. So, yeah, I guess it's either PowerVR "Midas 3": https:// …
