Hi all,

as usual searching through ebay for unusual cards stumbled upon this:

s-l1600.jpg

It can be found on searching for GA-SS21P8/PCI-2, which is written on the PCB. It's a small card, with VGA and DFP connector. The first part of the code, "GA-..." looks like a Gigabyte card, usually all Gigabyte cards of that era were labeled like that. Also, given that the card is from 1998 (as written on the PCB), in PCI, small heatsink, the layout of the board with the placement of the Ram Chips, my guess would be the card is a Riva 128, but not sure. Any guesses? Thanks in advance 😀

Heh yeah I see it now I enlarged the pic. If that hadn't have been there, I would have suggested that the driver names on the disk might have given you clues.

Unicorn herding operations are proceeding, but all the totes of hens teeth and barrels of rocking horse poop give them plenty of hiding spots.
