Nice X800, used to have an AGP Sapphire one some years ago and loved it. Reliable, though for some reason only ever seemed to work with Cattles**t 6.12. All other drivers caused weird graphical artifacts in the screen.
The 2600+ I'm all too familiar with aswell. Was my first (own) computer's CPU way back in 2002 in my Packard Bell i-Media 5075. Used the said X800 in that machine too though it was really carrying the rest of the aged hardware. It ran all the Valve games upto L4D2 back in the day aswell even had good FPS results too, albeit with slow load times. Amazing since Steam used to say it wouldn't work at all as my specs were apparently below the minimum requirements 🤣.

Il keep you posted. I'm in the process of moving out right now so it could be a while.

Nice! I actively collect Tseng Labs cards. My oldest are an ET1000 and an ET2000. I don't have an ET3000 that was actually assembled by them (your card was). It will work in any system with an ISA slot.
Well, had to stop buying as bought a couple of hundred vintage CPUs that will take me 2 months to finish paying. But will be buying more once those bills are cleared 😀
Thanks! I had no idea it was a TsengLabs card until it arrived, I just wanted a VGA solution for my IBM since CGA monitors are gold dust in the UK. And you can forget an EGA solution. I just hope this card supports CGA well enough.
