about my 4200:

if i plug it single to my mobo (tested on SD11 Slot A and KT333 Soyo yet) the motherboard starts but no beep is hearing and no picture...
if i put a second graphic card onto the mobo, the computer starts normaly, the pci device list shows a "unknown pci device".. windows also find an "pci device" but i cannot install any driver Undecided

Reply #153 - 25.04.05 at 23:48:17 Hm, that sounds like a possible Video BIOS problem of that Card. (otherwise, the BIOS should at least report it as a PCI Video Card with correct HW and Vendor PCI-ID values)

You could try another motherboard- The 4200 16MB I have works in only 2 of the 6 motherboards I have here and even then reliably in one.

I don't have not enough info even to speculate.

Reply #159 - 26.04.05 at 18:12:09 Hmm...looks like you can buy 'spare' parts from the Incredible Tech, homepage... http://www.itsgames.com/Support/parts.asp Scroll down to "Voodoo Card"...but the price is REDICULOUS! Also...seems like PGA Tour Golf was developed after Golden Tee... http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/data2/circs/7th/033785p.pdf

Reply #161 - 26.04.05 at 22:32:19 I suppose it is when you consider that they can't have many Banshee chips left...after all, no one is producing the GFX cores anymore... ...still, one for those of us who have more cash though!

Reply #164 - 02.05.05 at 18:51:21 Well Gary as my 500th post I would want to ask, are there anymore cards we don't know of yet, like backhand Prototypes or other scraped projects, if you know something very interesting , like what happened to the Voodoo4-2 4000, why did it get scraped?
