A little wayback search found this is part of the Planar Dome CX series. Cannot DL the DX2 driver w/o login (card edge has 10-DX2-01 so figure it a DX2 card)
http://web.archive.org/web/20051031194530/htt … al_drivers.html
added: maybe one of the drivers listed half down page "download now" may give some clues....
and this: http://web.archive.org/web/20060111030212/htt … /Dome/Dome.html
but this .pdf gives some limited info but does say what those lil dip switches are for...
http://web.archive.org/web/20081116202433/htt … 1A-quickref.pdf
will dig around a bit more later...have bunch chores to do

Thanks I couldn't figure it out since the card is part of the system, but it seems to be a DX2 controller card. Let's see if I can get VGA.

That Xilinx FPGA looks suspiciously like it's acting as PCI-PCI bridge, I'd suspect there are actually two GPUs under the big heatsink, each with their own RAM (four chips). I'd guess they'd be something like FX5200s looking at the rest of the card.

Alternately, it's an AGP or PCIe to 64b PCI/PCI-X bridge, in which case it will be just a single GPU.

But lspci sounds like a good start.

My PCIX board has the dreaded code FF so I won't be able to test it but I did get the heatsink off.

It is a Xilinx Spartan XC2S600E and there are 8 × 16MB modules of DDR SDRAM for 128 MB.

I'll put it on the VGAmuseum with this information in the coming days.

Thanks all.

Fully software defined graphic card, nice!

I think I have that card, will have to try it out.

For a while a few companies did this:

https://vgamuseum.info/index.php/component/k2 … ma-red-rocket-x
https://vgamuseum.info/index.php/component/k2 … ce-raptor-4000e

Did they do something special? like 24bit grayscale output (medical imaging)?

Thanks, posted to the vgamuseum

>Card for medical use in radiology

"DX board to support the DOME C3™ or C5™ digital flat-panel display"
"Dome medical imaging display systems... by NDS Surgical Imaging"
"10-bit capability"

Yay I guessed correctly 😀
https://web.archive.org/web/20030316212227/ht … ci/DXPCI-01.pdf must be for older system, its dated 2000 and only talks about 8bit palettes and 256 colors
Those ones https://www.manualslib.com/products/Planar-Dx … ci-1994559.html https://www.manualslib.com/manual/311095/Plan … ?page=15#manual mention 10bit grayscale mode for Xray inspection.

What is the display output resolution?
