The Daytona bring up board is really nice with all the reworks and old coils. Congrats on finding it.

Oscar, is that Rampage die pic the first time it has ever been shown? I can't remember ever seeing that T-Rex, that is absolutely awesome. And to see those Clay cards, wow, very nice to see them together!

Hello Tim,

At the end of this year I posted a pair of pics that an engineer who worked on Rampage sent me. I mean the person who designed  the 'artwork' on Rampage die sent me the original picture from T-Rex and another picture from his original Rampage chip die.

----------

#DAY 46
V5-6000 3400 A3
PCB#A020
EXTRA FLAT


Another amazing V5-6000. It looks so nice. A3 version with extra flat are really cool.
(Note- I taken out the CR3 (diode). It protects the circuit that feeds the vsa100 but damage the PCB once diode burns).

Very nice once again Osckhar, beauty to behold.

Any idea how many 6000's were made that are fully functional without needing rework?

Hello guys,

Many times without posting but really I am very busy with other stuff.

Here PICS from a nice V5-6000 3700 A with extra C15/C17 condensators. As curiosity VSA100 works 3V instead of 2.8V as all V5-6000 3700 A. Some history- 2.8V caused rendering anomalies with old silicon when clocked at 183MHz- the test were tweaked the V5-6000 higher VCore to  hide anomaly. Issue is fixed on last revision silicon. 320 Rev.

V5-6000 3700 VCore 3V instead of 2.8V
...

As bonus- Prototype box image. Seems before deciding to use Voodoo4/5 naming the initial intent was to name the new 'family' as Voodoo X.

VOODOO X PROTOTYPE BOX - I guess no one saw it before. I love the face design used on all Voodoo Box.
...

Enjoy,
Oscar.
