hello I think I came across something nice.

the latest Voodoo 5500 AGPx2 Prototype, which I came across @ X-Bit.com:
... ...

Here the source then, it is in Russian of some sort heh, Bablefish can't seem to translate though Undecided
http://qwendy.ixbt.com/video/voodoo5-5500.html

look behind the Backplate it say's clearly 1800 and the PCB Part number which sits just behind the AGP x2, normall you read this:
210-0413-001-A

this one olnly reads:
210-0413-001

while on the top Side you do Read Rev.A Smiley, even on where the PCB is written, in white behind the backplate, as I have seen on Gary's Rev.A0 1400 and TM30's Rev.A0 1500C cards 8)

Here TM30's Rev.A0 1500C for example:
... ...

here is what I meant the spot of the PCB Date:

yeaps TM30 has that card now, but the odd thing of that card  is that it's PCB date has a letter C behind the date number 1500 aka

1500C:
...

all the PCB dates on 3dfx and other Graphics cards never had a PCB date with a letter behind it.

since it's not the Revision, his card is deffintely a Rev.A0 and PCB date is 1500C, dunno what that letter "C" is, anybody thought about this one?

Anyways here some pics of the earliest production Voodoo 5 5500 AGP x2:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RARE-BOXED-3dfx-Voodoo-5500-AGP-gfx-card-complete-NR_W0QQi...

Top:
...

Bottom:
...


The UK Box only has 2 specification lines top of the box as 2 below, 1 in English and the other in French  Smiley

My 5500 PCI Euro is also an UK based box it has lesser writing on it and more face so equals more beauty to the box art it's self. Smiley

As you can see, this Rev.A 1900 has no letter "A" behind the PCB number:
210-0413-001

with the Rev.A 2100, Rev.A 2300 en Rev.A 2500 cards they have this written instead:
210-0413-001 A

So I suppose that the Prototype Rev.A 1800 as production card Rev.A 1900 had lot's in common compared to the differences with the Rev.A 2100, 2300 and 2500 cards.

Discription of the PCB numbers and Revisions of the card it's self. The PCB date of the Rev.A 1900 is also placed on the same spot as the other Rev.A 2100, Rev.A 2300 and Rev.A 2500 cards, as for the Rev.A0 1400, Rev.A0 1500C and Rev.A 1800 Prototypes the PCB Date is placed behind the Backplate on the rear side on the card.

Also the Rev.A 1800 Prototype has Bios 1.05 while the Production Rev.A 1900 has Bios 1.06, dunno what the fix changes are.
