I will update the list as contributions come in. (and whether or not they are payed up) * I have not payed for the card yet, I would prefer to have the funds in my Paypal account before proceeding. Sooner the better.*

3 way. me, you and Oscar would be around 20 USD. Should cover all the fees.

Anyone else want to help us out?? Brothers...

I think the PCI mod should be self supporting... You want a 128MB 5500 PCI Card, You pay a premium to support the R&D for the project. It shouldn't come at the cost of a few nice guys Cheesy

Come on my friends.. Show your support for our community here @ The 3dfx Archives. Contribute what you can Huh

I agree with Gamma742. If you want one, it's time to pay up for the R&D costs.

If someone has 8-10 spare chips I can buy for a V5 PCI mod, I'll pitch in $15-20 for the sacrificial card Rottentreats acquired. I have a V5 PCI DVI that really want's an upgrade:) Reply here or PM me ASAP so I can send Rottentreats the cash.

Are you ready to mod a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI yet?

I will be interesting to see if this member steps up to be a respected forum member and get on board with us. He or She is new to the forum and has shown an interest in wanting to mod a PCI 5500.

What's a few $$ among friends Cool

Well, if Komponent agrees, I'd pay that 8$ he offers + the rest that it needs, but I'd like to have the dead card for my display collection, if that's ok with Komponent and all the guys here that gave money. I hope that this message won't be misinterpreted, I'd like to help the project, but I'm not interested in a modded V5 PCI, but a dead V5 would be cool on my 3dfx vitrine.

You do realize that he needs to remove the VSA 100 chip(s) from the card? Plus it may cost more than that to return ship the card..

As for shipping, I doubt it would cost more than 2 euro (max). Romania to Romania, in case you're wondering why so cheap

I am donating my old memory chips to Komponent as I have no use for them. A VSA 100 GPU would be nice to have but not this time around. Also the backplate would be worth something to someone that has a V6K that is missing one

Does that make sense Okay Guys, Pledge your donations...

My opinion would be that because rottentreats and Komponent should be excluded from the donations list given the fact, that one helps procure the card and the other retro-engineers it for the needed modd to take shape.

That sounds good to me but you might want to send a PM to Komponent.

In reality what you are getting is a 15 $ R&D prototype card (DOA) that paved the way for 128 MB V5 5500 PCI Cards. I think that in itself, makes it a collectors item Cool

If another member wants to pledge a few dollars, it should lower each of our contributions equally. Wouldn't you agree?
