Black & White DVI-D's on VMAC 5500's
16.08.06 at 17:06:08
 
Hi all

As we all know the VoodooMAC prototypes have Black DVI-D's but when I recieved my VMAC 5500 Prototype it has a White DVI-D:
... ... ...

here the VMAC 5500 PCI Prototypes with a Black DVI-D:
... ... ... ...

and here the VMAC 5500 AGP's with a Black DVI-D
... ... ... ...

Now here comes the funny part:
The Black DVI-D based VMAC 5500 PCI prototypes are Rev.A1 2500's

The Black DVI-D based VMAC 5500 AGP Prototypes are Rev.A2 3300's

The White DVI-D based VMAC 5500 PCI Prototype which I have is a Rev.A1 2900.

the VMAC 5500 AGP Prototype is newer than my Rev.A1 2900 based VMAC 5500 PCI Prototype but it has instead of a white DVI also a black one  Lips Sealed

So would would explain that all Rev.A1 2500 PCI cards and Rev.A2 3300 AGP cards have a black DVI-D and my Rev.A1 2900 PCI card has a white one ?

Were the black DVI-D's cheaper to produce or was it something else?

Cheers,

Obi-Wan Kenobi.

I think it's rather a thing of availability than anything intended since DVI wasn't as common as today. First the suppliers had some black DVI-connectors, afterwards some white and then black ones again.
