ok, changing to sale.

for sale: two unfinished AGP.5 agp2pci prototypes (the two unfinished cards on the picture. the complete one is not for sale. the missing parts are not for sale either, but can be purchased from any electronics store and resoldered on with little effort-see the documentation)
location: Czech Republic
payment method: paypal (the buyer pays the fees)
minimum price: 100E each card
sale duration: open (I'll just let it run for a week or so, it should be pretty clear who is the winning bidder by then)

just to make things 100% clear-these are prototypes, and are not meant for normal use (even after resoldering the missing parts). they are useful only as a collectors item, or as a reference/debug/test board for anyone who might attempt to finish up the project.

Hi guys, just some brief explanation about these boards. It's PCB identical to the original AGP.5 prototype, so it is fully working in PCI signaling on 3.3V (which is something you need to figure out about your mobo yourself, mfg rarely put it in specs). In the AGP.5 package, released a few days ago you can find exact list of components, which can be bought in any shop with electronic components for a few cents (straddle-mounted AGP is an exception but you can always dismantle old mobo for that). If you're going for it, I encourage you to carefully study the pinout and buses specs and continue to finish this project. Just a few steps are missing, e.g. to enhance power supply layers to achieve better shielding on the backplane, and/or adding PI5C-like switches to make the device compatible with any PCI version.

happy shopping.




[old]ok, so the documentation is already out, and the prototypes should be available soon (2 pieces). is there any serious interest in these?

the price would be around 100E each.[old]

changed to sale.

Was the V5 AGP working correct with this adapter ?
In Dual GPU mode ?

as posted here:
http://www.3dfxzone.it/enboard/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=2041&whichpage=3

the voodoo5 gets around 1532 points in 3DMark2001, witch leads to single GPU mode....my hunch

Can Ren give us more informations, what are the weak points of the adapter and why the design hat to be re-made essentially from scratch ?
;)

Thanks for distributing the blueprint of this projekt !!!
The documentation is well structured and complete !  ;)

I do believe dual gpu mode was working-the main problem is insufficient shielding,which leads to performance drops.

Hmm..you mean the missing parts PI5C-like switches.
I allways asked myself what they are for...now it's clear :)

Did Ren also another PCB Layout, taking into account the positions for the PI5C circuits ?

these two (three) boards is as far as he got.

I have a private offer for one card,and as I do not see any offers here yet,I'll wait for another 48hrs,and then I'll accept it.the first post will be edited accordingly.

Hello PS47,

New PM sent !

Best Regards,

Trevormacro

please,post your offer here.the minimum would be 100E for one card,and 200e for two cards.do note that Ren is considering the private offer right now,so even if your offer ends up as the only one,the final decision whether to sell you both cards or just one will be up to him.

My offer : 250 euros for two cards.

notified Ren of the offer(s). if someone else is still thinking about making an offer,now is the time.

ok,finally got in touch with Ren,he has already sent pms to trevormacro-he is the winner..

@ps47 :

Thanks for all :)
Ren is a fabulous guy ! Respect ;)
