IBM Voodoo 4 4200?
17.06.04 at 10:33:39

I presume everyone of you are reading where I am reading but have you seen this card on E-bay?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40157&item=5102606935&rd=...

Does such card exists? It doesn't look like any other Voodoo card I have seen but is it a Voodoo at alla? Is it fake or real?

If it is real it would be very intresting I presume...

The seller say that the screen show like a V4-2 4200, but this numeration does not correspond to the Daytona AGP Card? Regards, Oscar

You should not be too confident about what the screen says because that can be changed... Looked at the bios source that DenisF says that he had been chaning succesfully. There you can change the name of every card and if I personally just find out how to compile the shit I can trick my Voodoo 5 5500 to look like a Voodoo 5 5800...

But with the picture of the card also there I presume it is real... But why would IBM do Voodo 4 4200? And why haven't we seen this before?

Reply #4 - 17.06.04 at 14:30:20 I have my doubts on this one, bulk sellers mix cards all the time and it doesn't have any 3dfx logo on the front of the card. Plus no active cooling, looks more like a S4 card to me.

Interesting indeed... Shocked

Umm, too bad that's not a quantum3d logo.

That's one of those "do not touch" logos I believe. But nice try Cheesy

Well, if it Posts as "3dfx Voodoo4 4200", I think it should be a 3dfx Card.

The Logo is the "Antistatic" Warning Logo found on many of the later/latest Model 3dfx Cards.

Anyway, let the bidding wars begin *g*

-- edit --
Hm, do you see the White Text imprinted on the PCB, on the very right (above the Voltage Regulator) ?

It's only a few Pixels, but from its size and Word length, it IMHO looks familiar enough to read :
(c)1999 3dfx Interactive inc.
(or (c)2000 )

Reply #12 - 18.06.04 at 11:13:56 Hmm - it may be interesting also that he says that it posts as "3DFX VOODOO4-2 4200" not as "3DFX VOODOO4 4200" What may that "-2" means? Is this a later version of a Voodoo 4 4200? Like a second edition daytona? Also - why is it in a IBM? Maybe it wasn't in the IBM from the beginning but was replaced by someone...

Yes, I noticed that as well after I posted about lack of logo.

Ah, if hardware could only tell stories... how did this piece get here?

@ 3dfx_goblin

The "-2" does indeed stand for second edition, but it means 2nd edition Voodoo4.
As the known daytonas are all one-chip boards, it would be classified as a Voodoo4, but with a VSA101 instead of a VSA100.
My daytona posts a a Voodoo4-2 4800 AGP with 32MB DDR.
Too bad that there were no 2-Chip daytonas, although they were planned there was no time left...
