Welp looks like I wasted my money on these. Anyone want one for the cost of postage? I've got 7 🙁.

Im interested in one or two (2nd one for other collectors), because i missing it on site (vgamuseum.info), but im bit afraid of postage costs into europe and it has to be send as gift to avoid customs.

is it a 3.3v or 5v pci card? I see its keyed for both. I wonder if older 5v systems cant handle it as well, being a dual 3.3/5v card.

According to this it is indeed both. You make a good point.

Well at least you got something interesting to pass on 😀
Went through my own collection recently and found that I got myself new in box. Interesting enough there are Win Me drivers for it.

I really like the idea of helping out someone who is contributing to the retro computing/gaming community. PM me your details and we can estimate the postage cost. We can go from there.

Anyone else who has a website or a Youtube channel that is releasing content for the sake of the community, or user who is known to be active on the forum is free to PM me as well!

I didn't see them. I was thinking of using the vbe9x drivers for it. Do you have a link? Or you saying it was on the driver disk included with the card in the box?

I completely forgotten that I had the card and even worse I had looked for drivers. I will have to check back, if I can't find a link somewhere I will have to sort out my storage rig. It is in upgrade purgatory atm.

the V3/V5 is sufficiently different from the Z7, unless its a combined driver.

As I had said that I have not gotten around to testing this, too busy with other things. If it doesn't work oh well.
