You might try here: http://www.3dfxzone.it/dir/3dfx/voodoo3/bios/roms/ Several (but not all) of the BIOS files hosted on that site have release notes for different revisions.

Hello all. I've archived the QuickRestore disc for a Compaq Presario 4800 series desktop, from circa 1997. I hadn't seen it online before so I thought someone might want it. Enjoy! https://mega.nz/file/QmJWnIBL#Qdngto1lDSIdF2M … jIx7A9DPEa8tn0E

I've got an M919 (V1.5) board on the way from Fleabay. Hopefully the cache isn't fake, although the listing shows them to be socketed rather than soldered so I think I'll be okay on this one.

Their build of dosbox is still available. They also supply the source code so it could be implemented in a newer version of dosbox. They only provide the download link for the regular install when you buy an adapter.... link is on a sticker on the packaging the adapters come in. http://arstech.com/ …

So I stumbled on this product which claims to provide an ISA slot using a modern USB connection. It almost seems too good to be true, but I have my doubts. Here's the link to the product I'm talking about: http://www.arstech.com/install/ecom-prodshow/usb2isar.html The vendor claims: ARS …

honest question though, why do you want to assign a monetary value to it in the first place if you don't plan to sell it? just be happy to have that piece of history :) I don't really care for how much things sell that I have, what they are worth to me in no way reflects actual "market value" the …
