[Cialug] PCI Video Cards

[pncowley@msn.com]

Might be worth a visit to tomorrow's ISU surplus sale in Ames... Lots of older-generation computer stuff, components, etc, for very little cash.

You can google the details...

Folks,

We are in need of *PCI* video cards that may work in an older industrial chassis (passive backplane) system. If anyone has some in your junk box, I'd be very appreciative! Good for a beverage or two, certainly.

What I know so far:

> Current PC cards use two power supply voltages and have two "notches" in the pins, so they DNW with this MB;
> An S3 and a Mach64 [partially] are the only PCI cards that have allowed the system to POST;
> Neither a Radion 7500 nor 9000 got past power-on!

	Lee
