Any 3Dfx PCB layout available? (Read 213 times)

EMPEROR Junior Member Offline 3dfx enthusiast Posts: 67 Germany Gender:	Any 3Dfx PCB layout available? 12.07.13 at 00:34:40 Just was curious if any 3Dfx PCB layout is available anywhere? Eventually V5 6000 would be best, but I know it's a loooooong long shot... but still, anyone knows anything about the subject?

And I hope somebody somewhere still has those...

Hopefully we'll get the PCB layouts sooner or later... then I'm sure trays with VSA100 chips will vanish into thin air

Why bother? There are tons of working boards around unless you are trying to build a V5-6000 and I think it would be very long odds that you would ever get one working.

Not to mention the cost of all the parts, it would be cheaper to buy one outright.

Rampage is alive!

There are not many V5 6000 for sale, at least I haven't seen for a while. And building one wouldn't be that expensive, especially if the PCB is done in x0-x00 quantities, at least I know the right people for that. And even if nothing happens, still it would be great (at least to me) to have the PCB layout in my possession, same as you with V5 6000 or Rampage or any other prototype...
