@Varus, very nice V5-5500 0900. I never saw before such rework on chip U6. Congratulations.

---------
Yesteday 1500 DATE CODE and today 1500B DATE CODE.

#DAY 36
V5-5500 AGP
DATE CODE 1500B - A0
Not For Resale STICKERS
LIGHT GREEN PCB
MORE REWORKS ON CHIP U6

U6 REWORKS

DATE CODE 1500 & 1500B

I still did not find why the REV A0 1500 comes with 3 revision date code, 1500, 1500B & 1500C. Sadly I still dont own a 1500C rev.

As always if you own with different rework just share it.

Very nice collection Oscar. Congrats.

I have here a slightly different rework on the U6 chip of Rev1500A0

And here is a picture of Rev1500C it has not U6 or reworks and it's indeed curious why they made these slightly different revision in the same week.

Regarding the Rev1800 weren't those the first production cards they shipped and then pulled out because of an issue they found?
After two weeks they released the 1900 with added mouse pad in the package.

Hello Gino,

Engineer sold me 1800 A told me this sample is still a pre-production board and this batch is used for 3Dfx QA Team (Test Quality Assurance) but I dont know if there are 1800 sold for 3Dfx as Commercial cards though. I never saw one before. I only saw one sample on google search and it was used for review card.

I was checking your 1500 A0 picture rework on U6 and compared with my picture 1500 - A0 REWORK 1 is the same rework but in my card V3.3 is taken from condensator side and from your rework is taken from pin IC.

Very nice cards!!! I still did not get chance to get 1500C but I hope do it.

- Oscar.

The Rev1800A is pre-production also the 1800 with 1.05 BIOS but there's also an 1800 with 1.06 BIOS and Thermashield fans which can be a production sample since I shares a lot of the characteristics of the Rev1900 which we know for sure was released in retail form.

That's why I mentioned "slightly" different

Thank you. I hope you do too.

Those QA cards with tags look very nice. Could you please post a picture of the back pcb of the 2700A ?
