I'm not sure what you ment with 'only90^^', do you not think it's a good price for an original Voodoo volts?

Just double checked and it's an original, moreover he said this (not my words) :

Quote:

Whoever said that must have a very superficial knowledge about Voodoo5 6000. He saw the early volts which has a sticker. That one works for Intel Rev cards etc..
Had one of those as well but for a final or a3 card you need the one you bought. The type 2 Voodoo volts never has a sticker.

The adapter that Tim bought is definately the read deal. I can vouch for "pyroini", I know this seller personally and he knows what he is talking about. He has a very rich Voodoo5 6000 history.

Do not try to use a standard "laptop adapter" on a Voodoo5 6000. Many people have tried in the past, when the real adapter was still very rare. I have never heard of any of them succeeding, but many stories of toasted cards.

Although arguably the adapter could be regarded as not a real Voodoo Volts but a substitute. 3dfx decided to use the leftovers from STB. These adapters where originally intended for some kind of LCD setup called Galileo.

For comparison: the old one has a 3dfx part number, the STB one does not

He does seem to have a very nice Voodoo 6000 history from the brief emails that we had exchanged. Very nice boards he has.

Quantum3D SB50, can't make out which model it is, but still, £5.50, that's almost stealing! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=160301993546&ssPageNam...

Atleast, it's been 3 weeks, and I paid EUR 20 for shipping, which should have arrived already. The seller is checking it out with the German post. Let's hope it's still underway. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=280280195274&ssPageNam...

Oh okay, I was just thinking, since EUR 20 is quite a lot, you would think it would have been express shipping. They usually are very slow. Let's hope it will still arrive.

Thanks Gary.
