I just found an AGP card which seems to have the AGP contacts reversed than any other AGP graphics card I've owned so far... I'm serious, it's not a PCI-e card, it's AGP, but it's backwards 😳
The model on it is an S3 VGA Trio, I tried to plug it in the Asus P4P800, but it doesn't fit, it's backwards !!! The longer part is opposed to the smaller part... I can fit any AGP card that has the pins divided into "3 parts" and my nVidia 7300GT which has it into 2 parts like this one... but reversed.
I have no idea how to fit this card... it's AGP for sure, PCI-e cards have the pins quite "smaller" and much longer, the size compared side-by-side to my 7300GT is the exact same, only reversed... WTF ?
It looks like this:
and the only AGP working motherboard I currently have is this one:
Notice how the shorter peg is on the other side than the longer peg in the AGP card slot...
Currently assembled vintage computers I own: 11
Most important ones:
A "modded" Olivetti M4 434 S (currently broken).
An Epson El Plus 386DX running MS-DOS 6.22 (currently broken).
