After some thinking i have got a really good idea here!..
Back in the day manufacturers had older websites and using older URLs.. Most companys where bought over by other companys.. So there is changed a lot over these 25 years ago.
There are manufacturers that still using there same old website URLS.. But theres are that changed a lot..till now.

I came in this idea to collect those old urls so they could very helpfull on finding old websites on the website archive website..

I hope people / members / users can help me with collecting those old urls. First i will collect them, second i will arrange them on category and alphabet order.

These iam looking for:

- Future Domain _need there old url_

it was creaf.com and I still think of their site as that!

That doesnt matter.. Why i do this? Because of getting information easier to found.. Maybe you looking for the original product page, or software downloads..
Now its much easier to find with this topic.. Did you forgot one url, just look in this topic as a nice help.

I had a FIC SD11 motherboard with an Athlon 550 back in 2000, with a Voodoo 3 and a Diamond MX300.

ES was posted because in the late-1990s into the early 2000s they made stand-alone PC graphics cards like simFUSION, Lighting 1200, and Tornado 3000. Not the most common cards in the world, but they do exist. 😀

So long, 3dfx. You'll always be remembered. 🙁

Never thought this thread would be that long, but now, for something different.....

Yeah, I did some checking around USENET archives, seems like Future Domain was not too futuristic, and even in 1995 had no public FTP/website. They apparently instead used a BBS, up until their acquisition.
