In the YT Video he talks about two cards in the package...weird.
Lets hope that this is not about global politics...we all share the same affection here.
Afair (the real) Raff is a very integer member and 3dfx fan. And its probably PCGH money he would need to spend, so maybe there is an issue here, as all legal ways to pay someone in russia are blocked?!
Vermutlich doch eher WLP-Kupferplatte-WLP anstatt eines Pads.
Genau, Pads gibts in verschiedenen Größen/Dicke...Man kann ja sonst auch zwei üebereinander.
Oder versuchen die Dicke zu schätzen...ich hab es bis jetzt immer geschafft mit bei Aliexpress bestellten Kupferplättchen die richtige Dicke hinzubekommen. Schlägt logischerweise jedes Pad und ist langlebig.
Ich tipp immer noch auf ausgtrocknete Elkos und Co. bevor da der Staub kurzschließt 
Besonders viele Leute zum Vergleich werden so edle Hardware auch nicht mehr am Laufen haben. Das Ultrium hab ich mein auch noch iwo rumfliegen, falls Du das als Backup-Backup brauchen könntest.
Jajajaja that was probably the time with the faulty Pentium 60 as well 
Thx for letting me know...and the 55k is 667?
677...
Der 6k Karton ist klasse Congrats
+1 for LoB, go and get professional help, please.
Could a mod just review GL posts here? hutzeputz ernesto.che Irrational and unexplainable damage to VA community is done and GL is threatening whoever. Thx.
Can someone else confirm that there was a working 2x2 card ever? The photo shows the one without PCB traces...if i remember correctly.
Well Gold Leader, if you really achieved now that Anthony left this topic, thank you in the name of the 99% of VA that opposed your opinion (this was ironic, you said before you cannot detect that usually). VA is actually the forum where things go forward thanks to constructive criticism.
Your way to argue is very immature because at least every second phrase contains emotional components, which does not fit any kind of constructive discussion. In my job I am reviewing scientific applications that go into millions of € and if someone starts arguing emotionally in front of the panel, this means there is a subjective component in arguments that should always remain objective and this it at least a reason to dig deeper/reject applications. So if Anthony is not listening to you, this means he is a very good developer and just taking the bit of real argument that was in your words. If your impression is that nobody is listening to you, you have to look for the mistake in yourself. The prototype is improved and you keep repeating the same BS again and again and damage this community here. In your facebook group you are able to apologize, why not here, where you do the real damage? Just compare your contribution with Anthonys and then decide what is better for 3dfx community.
I (personal opinion now) hope that your next post is gonna be about a working prototype from your side, based on your ideas, which I will definitely consider to buy.
Anthony, again please just try to ignore the emotional words, its not the amount of crappy posts here, there is exciting members with knowledge here (excluding myself from this list definitely).
Yeah, ages back i had a P5WDGS WS with such a controller. Even 33MHz cards profited from being along on a bus.
33MHz PCI was already exhausted by IDE transfers from the Southbridge. Concerning the dragging to 33MHz you are probably right, so as 99% had a Southbridge, the statement that a board is 2.1/2.2/2.3 PCI Version was just a basic statement about being backwards compatible to their own crappy onboard bridges
Chipset
That´s ironic The SB 82371EB PIIX4E can only do 33MHz...unsolder that crap 
Anthony, keep up the great work. A long mistery for me is why PCI cards can´t get the 66Mhz that was implemented with PCI 2.0 specs in 1996. Even a really old Asus P2B is specified as 2.1. When one uses Dos HWutils, they will tell you your slot can do 66MHz but i never found an actual card (3.3V/32bit) making use of this.
Second thing, don´t get bored here in this forum because of Gold Leader, he is one individual. I am convinced that 99% of people in VA know and value this project and give it the credit it deserves (and not just emotional complaining with sparks of constructive criticism).
In the end our hobby and VA need people like you, taking things to a new level! IMHO this is the greatest thing achieved since the first 6ks showed up here. In these years (GATs Göttin/hard::overclock, aso), we all have to keep in mind that even 3dfx engineers only build faulty 6ks that Hank had to fix and yours work straight away.
Gibts denn jetzt eigentlich die eine oder andere Gruppe?
Yeah that would be a great property, to be able to enable it only as pure 3D accelerator, which is basically off when 2D is active. Would help a great deal to conserve the environment, but much more importantly: preserve the VSA100 from useless 2D activity
+1, don´t take one statement too serious, please.
Hobbies like ours rely on invention and investment, like many other hobbies do as well. IMHO, it is shortsighted to be against this kind of cool experiments, as they also build up crucial knowledge to fix the original cards. Backfire´s resurrection and repair clearly (and scientifically) now analyzed that the end of useable lifetime for all unmodified Voodoo (VSA100 and others) cards is close. Furthermore, improvement like his new power circuitry help preserve original cards and might in conjunction with Anthony´s solution result in even better future circuitry. And as in any other hobby, that depends on real experts showing up, analyzing and solving (!) problems. Imagine, no old timer car would still be around, if one would rely on original spare parts (i am not talking about brake pads here, but even hand carved cylinders/blocks) and in-depth reconstruction and engineering.
In terms of pricing, the V5 6k would have been the absolute flagship of this time and the V5 55k was 250€ (500DM) in stores. Price for a 6k back in 2000 was supposed 600$ (with 2% inflation correction over 20y that would be 910€). A price of 1500€ for Anthonys cards today is thus cheap and in my eyes totally justified for expertise, materials and especially with regard to what collectors pay for the originals.
And in the end, as GAT always points out: It´about the 3dfx gaming experience, which unarguably can´t be guaranteed without surgical help/improvements anymore without risking the originals.
Wow, that's just awesome work. We had, and i even think to remember to have initiated that many years ago, already threads fantasizing about this (V5 6000 rebuild Heissluft Thread :)). Original thread seems lost, maybe during forum migration.
In any case, the old Mandela saying come true once again: It always seemed impossible until its done.
I will definitely consider a buy, please let us know more.
@Goldleader: You would have made a great german citizen. Finding the 'grain of salt' in everything great is our superskill! (nowadays even with providing a practivcally working solution/not unsustainable fantasy)
Wow, that's just awesome work.
*off topic moved to another Tread*
I will definitely consider a buy, please let us know more.
Jajajaj pls read my post again, i cannot register...its descent questions...
it is for the net forum....anyway...its about the question.
Hey guys, i need your help. I need your help to enter the DescentBB Forum. I am absolutely not descent expert and they ask, a probably easy, question as flooding protection. Could you help me with the image and the list? Thanks a lot...it is to get my FFPro up and running again with Win10, but i got some jittering problems i wanna ask the experts there that develop the Gameport/USB Adapter.
Thx in advance,
Tobi
