I think the LVDS notebook display mini card is a bit of a giveaway about it being an engineering sample. Oh, it's also made by Acme. 😀

We'll just ignore the price.

Didn't acme make all the explosives in the roadrunner cartoons as well?

SO whats the purpose of the mini card on an AGP card? Just for testing purposes?

It's either an engineering prototype or it's a reference design for a notebook vendor. The LVDS mini card is there to allow testing with typical notebook LCDs.

I don't know if Cyberblade was ever used in a desktop product.

Interesting. I guess that's where it comes from then.

It's a portable DOS gaming dream machine....if DOSBOX isn't your thing. 😀 Look at all of those ISA slots.
