Hi,

are old 3DMax (3D-Max) from Kasan Electronics electricaly compatible with newer Asus VR100?
Could be 3Dmax plugged into Asus AGP GeForce (V7700 DeLuxe etc.) and vice versa Asus VR100 glasses plugged into Kasan ISA card?

I remember Kasan 3DMax from 1995. Four VR devices vere popular in magazines and shops:
VFX1 HMD
CyberMAXX HMD
IO I-Glasses light HMD
and Kasan 3DMax shutter glasses
3DMax was much cheaper. Was sold probably in local EsCom stores (maybe i confused 3DMax with i-Glasses).
3DMax was natively supported with Descent but all 3D sets were too expensive for my family. And i forgot this device for twenty years. I only later tested VFX1 and CyberMaxx.

Last week was 3DMax set sold in local auction:

Very cheap but i read it after auction ended..

OK, no card for collection, but time for some small research 😀
