The only thing that speaks against a high number of distribution is :

Noone, including even the most hard-core Collectors, has ever seen one of those; let alone got one from Ebay worldwide, within the last years.

While technically I believe there must indeed be more Cards, they are (as of now) still the only 2 Cards of their type to ever surface...

It's a guts call :
Let go of the Auctions, and maybe see more of them coming in soon... or miss the only chance you'll ever get to aquire one.

Good question.

Maybe he tested it to boot only using the Standard VGA, and deemed them 'good to go' for sale.

I mean, if I was selling components by the hundreds almost every day, I'd as well keep my time needed for testing down as much as possible.

If those really are IBM Cards, it should be possible to still get support from IBM.
As far as I know, these guys even support 10 years old Hardware Wink

Reply #48 - 20.06.04 at 19:52:19 What I don't understand is, If bewegung123 wants one of these cards so badly, why hasn't he (or bfg3dfx for that matter) started to bid on the 2nd one on ebay yet? (hence it is a lot cheaper than the price rate of the first one currently)

Reply #49 - 20.06.04 at 20:13:18 hehe, probably for the same reason both have been driving the price high effectively for no reason until now. The real price war will generate within the last 5 Minutes of the Auction anyway

Yes in the end the real price war will begin, im wondering what price status these cards will bring, id pay 300.00 for a non working v6000 just to hang on the wall, since working or not this card wouldnt see any real everyday use except for fun, how high will it go.

as for ibm, i cant see them taking and wasting there time on just 2 cards, not unless they were samples and they never went in a ibm machine for sale, otherwise they would have to have support and that cost money
