Hello,

Thanks at all!

For what they told me. Basic batch 10-20 samples for NAKED PCB.

Once in the Labs they starts to work in 1-5 PCB samples, adding components and debugging them. It does not means all  naked PCB are assembled. As orientation for knowing if more samples are built is important to look e-tag but in this case not too much help since it was first sample #A001.

Yes, in test or games where you need bandwitdh. If not, performance is more or less same. Always little better using AGP than PCI version.

Ok, I will request info.

--------------------

Today I will start for Banshee prototype cards. I always found Banshee an amazing and interesting card. Here I will be some days uploanding pictures.

I always liked so much engineering tags used in Banshee cards but also in other prototypes 3Dfx cards.

My idea is always find his partner. Normally I got it.  I think the PCI version will be the first time some people see it. Normally the AGP version was sent for reviewer but not the PCI format.

AGP - DATE CODE 2498 - ASSY 600-0033-03
PCI - DATE CODE 2498 - ASSY 600-0034-04

WHAT THE?? are you friggin kidding me?? there actually are boxes for the 6000 made, beside  the fanbased grey black one?? AWESOMENESS!!!

till now you are showing me lotsa stuff I have never seen, let alone heard about.....cool man....really cool!!

The Banshee samples are lovely! I always liked them (and the Voodoo3 samples), too. They show 'true' (true?.. well older ) 3Dfx cards rather than the STB-like 3dfx cards.

The V5-6000 box is amazing! I wonder why no-one uploaded pics or mentioned the existance of the box. What is on the back-side of the box?

Is there information for initial ideas for the V5-5500 box as well?

Day 7 will be a Velocity 200 box?

@ultima, thanks.

@radu, yes, is a bullet too.

@Thandor, I like Banshee's proto cards but my favourite are Voodoo3 reference boards and Daytonas but of course later V5-6000 cards.
Backside is totally black.

Tomorrow not more proto box. I have another big surprise. Another nice secret.

And it is full functional!!!

To dream is still free guys 

I have some other proto box but based on V2. I will show them.

Today I will show you something that few people know and only people who worked in Rampage Chip at 3Dfx.

One of the real Voodoo secrets: Every Voodoo Rampage had a small unused region on the die where we had enough room to paint the initials of everyone who worked on the chip and a tiny image tyranasoras (sp) Rex. The Rampage chip I own has been “decapped” so you can see these things clearly under a microscope.

DAY #7
RAMPAGE CHIP OPEN DIE


RAMPAGE CHIP OPEN DIE (UNDER MICROSCOPE)


TREX WITH INITIAL PEOPLE WHO WORKED IN RAMPAGE.

Very cool Oscar!
