We have dual board function!!!

No problems with OpenGVS demos, Quake3 will not run with Wicked3d driver, trying the native AA5 driver now.

Update #2 Doesn't seem to like anything aside from OpenGVS in dual board mode, driver issue I guess Grin

Correction- My opengl32 file was broke, I'll retest later.

Update #3 Both board sets work perfect!

Hah, I wish! Some of these purchases have been on credit card.

Actually, one of the systems is going to get sold off once I'm done evaluating the pair and so will some of the boards once they are tested... can't afford nor desire so much of the same.

I have a pile of stuff to sell/trade in the next few weeks, just a matter of going thorugh and seeing what has to go.

There is a Voodoo volts board, a Barracuda, 5500 with dual VGA, a 200sbi with one chipset, an X-24, 5500 AGPx4, a Graphite box, a Quicksilver II box and a pile of pre-production boards.

The 8232DB AAlchemy even comes with "original dust"... ...are you gonna' clean it up @Gary? ??? (I hope so - dust is BAAAD!) Let us know (with screenshots) if you get all four boards to work as a unit! 8) ...and screenies of any games that...possibly...might...work.

GLQuake with the Wicked3d driver! How funny is that? Did some back to back testing with the single board setup, the single board runs everything, the dual board just GLQuake with the Wicked driver.

Such picky hardware!

LED's at the top of both boards are flashing indicating that they are working while rendering.
