Since this card has an FPGA it could be re-purposed as something else and the HDMI connector could be treated as a breakout for whatever connectivity you could fit to it's 19 pins.

Still like 9349057398547x faster than Zorro II, haha.  ;)

*I know that's not an approximate number.  I'm sure some smart-ass will come along and say exactly what the performance difference is, but I can't remember and can't be bothered to google it right now, lol.  :lol:


I found this discussion from 2007.  It's worth reading the whole thread.

Even when "New phase5" would start reproducing their old products, you will get 4 MB graphics boards. OR you simply dont wait and order half-length modern 32 MB RTG which seems to have good future as video modul will come up for it as well (then you can throw out your Indivision). Yes I have to admit performance is still not that good as the old RTG cards, but it gets there every new firmware and driver and who knows what will be performance in final stages.


The CybervisionPPC had 8MB but I remain sceptical about this new Phase5's ability to source  the parts needed to make new boards.

Yes CVPPC has 8 MB, but it is not a Zorro RTG and its only usable with MK3/PPC Cyberstorms.


klx300r brought it up and he has a CS MK3.
