IF i can get one
i try to get a ATi Rage LT, think thats easier
this have also a SIL CHIP but not a special ATI IC like the 3Dfx one
Gary, can you test your compaq 3500? or sell it to me
Why would you get an ATi Rage LT? To test the DFP/DVI convertor? If so, also think of the possibility that the DFP port on the V3 is not correct (or correct enough) that the convertor doesn't work, but a 'native' DFP monitor will work.
Although, in case you're looking for a DFP card. Try extending your search to a S3 boards as well. I have a S3 Savage4 with DFP lying around somewhere (not selling it though).
I also found a Savage4 with D-SUB and DFP on
http://www.nowthatsit.nl/ (A Dutch webshop which doesn't deeplink correctly). It says: that the board is a Compaq sparepart with number 142707-001. It was meant for Presario 5700 systems but will also work in other systems.
Seems to be correct as it's just a normal AGP board. If you want it I can help you order is. The board is a whopping 11,35 EUR without shipping.

According to Wikipedia:

Maybe it'll make the search easier.

The card arrived with a blank bios, but PCI.EXE indicated the board was on the bus.
I flashed it with a Compaq 3500 BIOS and the card powered up and worked normal, never tried the DFP connector out and can't recall if it popped up in the driver screen either.
A rare board, only one known of.
What about using exxe's V3/DFP BIOS?
