3dfx Specter 1000 AGP TEST SOCKET Rev.A1 4700

Hi everybody,

My dream came true. I have found a 3dfx rampage card in dead condition.
I will do all my best to restore this card with the great help of one 3dfx engineer.
I have created a link for the card.

http://www27.brinkster.com/trevormacro/specter1000/rampage.html

nb. I don't have the card with me because I am trying to bring it to life. I hope I will succeed.

Here is a frontside picture of my rampy:

Hahaha  nice find man Smiley

It's a tad bit disconcerting though that the socket and back of the chip are black  Undecided

Very curious about what clean system will be used for clean the test socket (gold contact) and rampage chip, I am asking my self if not would be enough to use Ultrasonic cleaner with alcohol isopropanol.

ps. Nice catch Michel!!!  Cool

Hi and thanks,

I have the card now.

...

...

The MSI 848P Neo-V motherboard doesn't boot with the card in agp4x slot.
Website updated.

Socket opened:

The card:

I need some help now to repair it.
Perhaps this MB doesn't support my card!


Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Trevor.

Thanks for the update Michael.

Did you try to start the card in another motherboard ?
( An agp2x )

Fit the rampage cip in only one Position in the socket ?

More Fotos please Smiley

@Michel,
Just starts for using pci.exe SW and see if card is detected via 3Dfx ID vendor.

Regards,
Oscar.

I would try a 1999-2000 vintage system (AGP x 2 is fine for testing) go into the BIOS and disable all video related shadowing and caching and use a NON-3dfx PCI video card to boot up with the PCI board indicated as the primary video adapter in the BIOS.

use PCI.exe and see if a device with vender id 121a is present, this will tell you if the Rampage board is live or not.

I can't say not having a sockected Rampage board, the number one position is clearly marked on the chip and board though.
