I've had this for 20 years now and I haven't seen another with the box anywhere online.
I'm not planning to sell it, but I thought it'd be interesting to see what you video card collectors thought of this one.
As far as I can remember, this was everything that came with it (minus original antistatic bag and CD sleeves). I always thought this was an interesting item because it is the only graphics card I can think of that is named\packaged by a game company. Obviously its made by Canopus (which is a name that I associate with obscure '90s hardware as well), but it'd be like getting a "Blizzard SuperCOOL Geforce GTX 980 Ti"... it just sounds kind of silly now. My brother bought this to use with his Cyrix 133Mhz system (upgraded later to a Pentium 200MMX, which I still have and use), way back in 1996-1997. I've kept the box packed away safely for years but actually used the card and discs many times since then.
I really like this card though. Its too bad the modeX performance is so bad on the Verite chips. For the longest time my 9x\DOS all in one machine consisted of a K6-2 500, this Verite 1000 and Voodoo 2 12MB SLI with a SB16 CT2230. Now, I'm struggling to keep myself from building 5 different machines...
My collection has absolutely nothing on what some of you guys have (some of your collections are more valuable than all of my material possessions combined... possibly including my house), but I do have some other rather interesting things that I've held on to as well. If you guys want, I can take some more pictures later.
Its cool to have found a community that cares about this era as much as I do. 😀
