This thread is ONLY for putting your name down for the 3Dfx DVD that Gary is compiling with lots of kewl 3Dfx stuff on... ;)


Quote:

The CD's contain Press kit images from before 3Dfx were finished, beta drivers (including RC1 for 3500TV both in English and Japanese) videos, loads of pics, etc. I'm going to try and compile the stuff onto a single DVD, it will be avaliable for the cost of the disc and shipping.

First on the list was @gamma742... ;D

I'm up as second order...get your names in people! 8)

well If I get more info of the prices , you could count me in also ;)

Yeah, me too  8)

Me to :D

Correct and it should be fairly reasonable considering DVD R-/+ media here is about $1 each and the media shipping rate for mail service.

Well khm, no matter what... it's worth it... (a lot)
I'm in! :)

Finished compiling the DVD tonight- 4.2 gigs of buttery goodness total ;-)

Since after I was done there was some extra room I have included an ISO of the Velocity driver disc, an ISO of the 3dfx version 1.0 software developer kit and 500 megs of internal Napalm drivers sent to me by someone else ;-)

There is movies, docs, two versions of the Comdex press cd's, 130+ pictures and loads and loads of beta drivers and tools.

I'll stop at the post office in a day or two and try to find out what the media rate shipping will be.

stay tuned...

Gary

If you got more stuff, I recommend packing everything with 7zip (alternative freeware, heaps better than .zip and still alot better than .rar even) to squeeze more stuff on it *g*

Anyway, count me in :)

hmm can you use WinRar to open 7Zip files then? if not it maybe handy to add that 7zip program on the DVD as well, just a tip.

Cheers,

I do have those 4 DVD discs with OEM drivers but you already have them FF.

7Zip is a proprietary format - it ONLY works with 7Zip extractor...not a problem as it's free! ;D

oh okay, thanx Paul :) I'll download right away, Really I never heard of it since I always work with WinRAR 3.0, I know it's old but it works fine :)

$7 total

Shipped air to most of Europe should not be a problem.

Is that USD or Euros ???

$ = Dollar ?  ;D

$7 USD. (Roughly 5.6 Euro)

Shipped to US would be cheaper as it could go basic media rate.

I forgot to mention that there is also a bunch of bios files and utilites as well along with V3/V5 Mac drivers/bios too.

$7 = £3.80 = 5.60Euro ;)

...according to www.xe.com ::)

I thought the U.K. switched from Pounds to Euros ???

Good thing ebay helps me with those transactions ;)

well Gary for your Work I would even pay 7euro's for one CD
well to be serious, you have done work to make those nice things, to me they are worth lots more my friend :)

Payment is in the mail. Let me know how you make out with those multi-channel Q3D tech demos 8)

Have to setup the Iron system without a case and see what happens.

If you wish to order the DVD please send $7 USD payment via paypal to the e-mail address listed in my profile. In the paypal subject line just insert "3dfx DVD" and make sure your shipping address listed with paypal is correct or add it in the message window.

I'm planning on sending out a batch on Tuesday when the post office opens.

Hi Gary, I sent you the Money today the day: Monday, September 05,  2005 at 18:09 PM :)

I made the payment higher than asked, because you deserve that my friend ;)

Already packaged and will be in route tomorrow.

Anyone else want one shipped this week please send payment in the next 12 hours or so.

Cool Gary, I'm very excited what you put on that disc :) I hope I will make new discoveries with it, If I do I will let you know asap ;)

Cash has been sent your way @Gary... ;)

...now for me to wait (usually 2 weeks from U.S.A. to U.K.) ::)

All discs that were paid for have been shipped today, overseas should see them in 4-10 days.

Buyers from Canada should see them in 4-6 days or less.

Darn, came in after I bailed out to the post office.

I'll send the disc out sometime this week, I'm trying to cut down the number of trips I make on account of the skyrocketing gas prices.  :P

I'm sure I'll be in the area of the post office before Friday.

hehe, what's the price for a gallon of standard gas over there now ?

We've hit like 1.30 Euro recently (a liter of normal gas), and it's predicted to climb...
(that's 6.13$ per Gallon, Premium managed to hit 6.84$)

The cheap stuff is about $3.25 a gallon with high octane running close to $4 in this area.

A few weeks ago regular was $2.60

Before comparing consider that there is many, many more miles of highways in the US compared to other countries so from a tax perspective the government makes more money via volume.

My van (which gets 24 mpg, the Spirit pulls in 33 mpg, both turbocharged of course) a fill up is $44, now the same fill up $55.25

So that's once a month pulling an extra $44-$55 out of the wallet along with the prices of everything else going up.

Yup, I use to average 400+ miles a week driving, deliverys, shipping, daughter to school, etc.

I'm glad I converted the van to 5-speed, it use to get 17 with the automatic  :P

I'm considering selling my 2004 Toyota Tacoma and getting a Motorcycle. I don't use the truck much since I have a company car (weekends). The weather here in San Diego I can ride pretty much year round. Could borrow the wife's RAV4 during bad weather. Plus, I can drive in the carpool lane on a cycle ;)

I think I talked myself into it. Now if I can only convince the wife :-/

hmm very intersting here in The Netherlands it's about 1.89 per Litre, though I don't know if a litre is equivallant to 1 Gallon, any know that, I know I was bad at Mathematics and Econnomics lol ;D

@ Gary:

Great work on that 3dfx disc :) it arrive today the day Saturday, September 10, 2005 @ 09:00 AM  8)

Very intersting indeed :) oh and thanx for the 3Dfx/Atari's W.A.R. Hat Pins :)

Got my DVD today. Has prolly been sitting @ the UPS store for a while.

Thanks for the Q3D Mercury and AAlchemy case badges.

gary i also want a DVD... can you send me an email with payment details and so on?

@Gary - got my DVD today...WHOA! :o Too much stuff to look at as I'm busy fixing PC's at the moment... :P

@TM30 - payment instructions are in this thread... ;)

If anyone has a problem with the 60 meg STB1.MPG let me know, it looks like on some of the DVD discs that file is damaged for some reason.

Gary

Hi Gary,

paymant is on its way, sorry I recognized this thread too late.

Regards

Rolo01

Must be a credit or debit payment so I had to deny it from my personal account.

Go ahead and send it to my regular e-mail address Rolo.

Done  ;D

For some reason my Sony DVD burner/Nero damages the stb mpg even when the file is zipped! I'm totally baffled by this.

The file will be hosted on a server for download.

Some things just won't work.
Crystal Caves for example (DOS game;~1992).
Burn it to CD with an AOpen CDRW* and the exe file is corrupt  ::)
Compressed (ZIP) did work in this case  :)

_{*Only tested with an AOpen CDRW drive. Don't know if other drives/media have the same problems}
