Well, his Matrox E-VDP does have its own thread at least 😀
Who knows more about the AMI Video BIOS?

How about an MP3 player that has 32MB storage on board with SmartMedia slot and transfers music via parallel port?

Voodoo 3. I prefer using Voodoo 2 SLi combined with a Geforce 256.
TNT2 Pro- Why do I keep this if I have a G256?
3DLabs Wildcat III 6110. Doesn't work with any of my boards but works with 8-bit colour? Weird thing.
PowerMac G3 300. I have never used it for more than an hour due to no nostalgic attachment- but IT'S SO PRETTY.
PowerBook G4 1.67. Same boat.

Strange how Vogon people value hardware differently. To me, Voodoo3 and TNT2-Pro/Ultra are good cards.
I use them for era correct build's, and like them better than later cards.
For me, I have a Diamond TNT-1 128bit PCI card, that I rarely use, as I have an TNT2-M64-PCI.
The TNT2-M64 are passive cooled, the TNT is not. And the fan is not in good shape anymore.
Else... I got a Creative VideoBlaster MP400 CT-6080, that I have no use for, as I don't have any
video-cd's to play on the card. Would be nice to play full-screen MPEG-1 on a 486dx33 though.

They're good cards, the thing is I just don't have a billion systems so they get superceded. The V3 is actually presently in a system my brother built- and has yet to use. I don't use it myself because V2 SLi + Geforce256 is a more rounded rig. Said Geforce256 is also why the TNT2 is unused.
I also got an offer for /200/ for the G3 today, although not until later in the month. Good lord I am no doubt jumping on that.

What hardware is it build from?

I have 3 CD caddies left over from my brief period of Amiga CDTV ownership. I will in high likelihood never own another caddy-taking drive. However *if* on the off chance I ever have use for them, I know finding more will be completely impossible. So they sit on my shelf wasting space and being useless.
Dilemmas...
(Anyone need some CD caddies? Hit me up!)

I never have and likely never will own a device that uses them. Instead, I grabbed it for the sole reason that it most closely resembles the Isolinear Chips from Star Trek, and it made my inner Trekker nerd happy. 🤣
Love this. Almost completely useless and yet so cool.
I have an old Pentium 60 CPU with FDIV bug somewhere in a shoe box . In a few decades, I might try to ask Intel for a bug free replacement, or maybe not.
~50 Realtek, 3Com, Intel, and other PCI-based 10/100 network cards. After upgrading my home network to wired gigabit, I don't see me every going back. T
Plan your life wisely, you'll be dead before you know it.
wrote:even when you kludge in another video card you'll discover the super proprietary software that you cannot find anywhere because Matrox denies they ever made this and I seem to own the second one still in existance is not actually on the hard drive. The drive is there and it works but it was formatted. Okay, so see what unformat does. Nope. Someone put a fresh install on the system and then a few junk programs like Family Tree Maker and Print Shop so the priceless things like the drivers and programs have long since been overwritten.
Have you tried "testdisk" or something similar? It searches the whole disk image looking for remnants of old files, but I'm not sure if it would be able to recognize the type of files you're looking for. But if you haven't done it already, make a clone image of the disk first to preserve a copy of the current state.
