The Rendition V 2200 was indeed a good card of it's time, Diamond Multimedia called it the Stealth II S220 and Number Nine had one also, though it was called Revolution but not sure there.

Heh! You had to use a hacked "ref_gl.dll" with Quake 2 to get full speed with this card as it used ARB multitexture rather than SGI multitexture! Grin

Tweak3D had a news post about this on 5/11/99, here's a snippet... Wink

Quote:

Someone hacked the ref_gl.dll file (Quake II) to allow Quake II to use ARB Multitextures instead of SGI Multitextures.

The original file was on Glide Underground, but it's gone now! Cry

If anyone wants to mirror the hacked file, I can email it to them at the weekend... 8)

Is it this file ?
http://dl6.mydown.com/home3/display/ref_gl_hacked_for_173_arb.zip
if not, I'm interested...

I own 2 Rendition V2200-based Cards,
Jazz Outlaw3D 4mb Pci with Box (same as TM30 and Falconfly's), sadly damaged, failures in 2D and 3D...
QDI Legend 4mb Agp, works fine... Grin

then, there are
Aristo PowerVR PCX2 with Box
Daimond Viper V550 16mb Agp, w.orig. Driverdisk
Elsa Erazor II 16mb Pci
Number Nine SR9 8mb Agp (Savage 4)
and ATi Rage IIc and Rage Pro, both Agp and 8mb, if these counts as 3D-Cards Wink

The hacked REFGL.DLL for ARB textures actually makes Quake 2 playable at nice speeds on the Rendition! SHWEET H4X0R5! 8) LOL!

Revolution 3D with a GPU from Number Nine, Ticket to Ride it has a really cool PCB, if you hold the card through the light, you can read "Thats why i go ... for that Rock'n Roll Music" (3rd image) these were great times... not that boring reference layouts like today...
