yeah this one :

http://p068.ezboard.com/bvoodoo56000resourcegroup

the one Rolo01 mentioned earlier, I got no results , but norries Gary got all the most important info from the topics of that site, we're in good hands, the Force is still with us. Wink

I'm still wondering if there were any more Voodoo5 6000 Proto's like a Rev.A 4000 maybe there is one lurking one araound as an unknown card, I still have the feeling that we haven't seen all of the cards yet, the V3 Circuit board and V56K Rev.A0 0700 with no chips on it was also an amazing discovery out of the blank.

So Maybe there is more, let's hope that anyway.

Anyone? No nugget of info or trivia too small! Every little bit helps. Specs, technical data, small bits of private info, interviews, posts by ex-3dfx, anything!

Yeah norries Gary , I wasn't so sure about the first photo, any talking about the 6000 cards, how does the Rev.A 3900 perform, just like an ordinary Rev.A 3700 or is it more stable at higher resolutions with greater loads?


by the way, my last post in this topic, might be helpfull also:

Oh Gary I found something for you that must be in your Voodoo5 6000 FAQ:

Omega_Supreme showed me it, it seemed to be an axternal Power suply for Rev.A1 & Rev.A2  series cards:
...

P.S. You forgot to put my name at the bottom of your special thanx section of your Voodoo5 6000 page Wink

Nice FAQ, Gary Grin

I noticed two (three ?) small mistakes. (Both located near the Motherboard compatibility list)

Here are a list of motherboards that have been sent it by readers, note that I have not tested these so can't say for sure. Please double check before proceeding!

here are = here is :? I'm not sure, but "here is" sounds better to me Wink
it = in

ECS K7VTA3 VIA KT333 AMD system

As far as I know the ECS K7VTA3 basically exists in 8  revisions. (Rev 3. and 3.1 are basically rev3)
Until a year ago I had an ECS K7VTA3 Rev2 with had a VIA KT266A. The newest revision contains a VIA KT333CF northbridge.
When looking at the ECS site I see that ECS is talking about AGP8x support and AGP4x support.

The 3rd revision of the ECS K7VTA3 contains a VIA KT333 northbridge. The second an KT266A.

I'm not sure about the first rivision, it must have either a KT266 or a KT266A.

Maybe it's advisable to add the following:

ECS K7VTA3 Rev3 and up -  VIA KT333 - AMD system

Thanks, I was hoping for a slew of more info and corrections once the page was up!

I'll upload a new page in a few days as more info presents itself, spelling, motherboard info and credit errors fixed.

1.
if you want you can write a little bit about the universal useable bios! you gave me 0.27 & 0.32 of the v5 6k bios. but you found them on your v5 5500 dual vga and you said something about useing 6k-bios on v4-prototypes...

2.
oldest bios: 15. jan. 2000
latest bios: 5. oct. 2000

3.
i talked to larry coffey (bios programmer of elpin systems)
he said to me that 3dfx had their own bios programmers for their last chip generation (vsa-100...i guess he thought of this chip)...
unfortunatelly he seems to be very busy or on vacation...maybe i will get a few more answer Wink

if i can find something else i will contact you Wink

and of course: great faq!

Hey Gary,
that external power supply cable was made by a friend of mine, it is completely home made. So no serial or part number.
My friend built this one for me at a time when I was looking for a way to power up my 6000. Soon after that VMan repaired my 6000 and soldered the terminals on.
I sent that cable to a guy named Enrico in the german voodooalert.de forum, he was looking for a way to power up his Intel Rev. 6000.
But I think he never used it, as far as I know he sold his 6000 soon...

that name sounds so familiar,
was he in oschkar's website of V5 6000 collectors?

oh well, sounds like a decent price for the buyer who paid 1,200
