I could use the pass thru cables and can PayPal you the funds. Maybe someone else might want the v4 & V5.

Damn! Crap! Why on hell does PayPall not work in my country, Romania?
I'm sure I could repair and fix both Voodoo4&5 cards and maybe one Voodoo2 too... I'll try to have a friend help me out here with PayPall...

Voodoo5 5500 AGP

is it a memory chip on front or backside?

Hi all, well, I've received more replies in one day than I expected for the entire week.

@gamma742: Ok, the pass-thru cables will be yours if Rolo01 doesn't need them. By the way, do you want only the cables, or also the Voodoo2 cards?

@Komponent: I prefer Paypal, but if there was no other alternative, I could accept an international transfer giving you my IBAN/BIC codes. We may arrive at an agreement if the others fail.

@exxe: The damaged chip is on the front side of the PCB. It's got a slightly broken corner and three squished pins.

@Rolo01: I need your postal address to calculate the actual shipping cost (send me a private message).
Do you want the pass-thru cables, or may we leave them to gamma742?

Yes only if Rolo01 doesn't want/need the cables I'd like to have them ;)

I want everyone to take note...

This is not the first time Rolo01 has done something nice for me.

Once and most noted, he gave me a FREE! Voodoo5 5500 backplate so that I could install it on my V6K ;)

Thanks again Rolo01. If you ever need me to pick something up on eBay for you (U.S. only auction) You got it 8)

Hi, I've just sent the packages to the post office, probably will be shipped tomorrow. I'll be away for a few days, so do not worry if you post here or email me and don't receive a reply.
