Looks pretty good as is 😆 Maybe not very practical for moving around though.

I've seen people here buying LAPC-I cards regularly, but I've never seen one for sale anywhere. How do you people find so many?

One thing that could help answer this question is to first establish the rules of what you want, and what’s important to you, otherwise you will never find the correct answer.

A Riva TNT2, Pro or Ultra, not M64 though, would probably be fine and would be able to run the games from the period you mentioned. If somehow you still need more power then any GeForce 2 you can find would be a good choice.

Nice! Does the mouse connect to the port that says "Mouse"? Mine came without keyboard or mouse so I tried connecting a non-Schneider serial mouse to that port but it didn't work.

At first I thought it didn’t look as bad you described it, but then noticed where the buttons were. Nice job with the recreation though! With the logo dome sticker it should look pretty good.

I wonder if that particular chip has the same 3D "capabilities" (or incapabilities) as the Trident 3DImage chips from the same time period. As far as I know those Cyber chips were marketed as having 3D hardware acceleration, but in reality it was just regular software rendering with a hardware …
