Title: PeeSee boards swap for Amiga stuff?
Post by: wa9yoz on May 01, 2007, 03:52:26 PM: Greetings all! While cleaning up my radio ham shack, I found these 2 PC boards and have no idea what they are for. If anyone can use them, let's do some horse trading (Amiga stuff)
the boards are:
1 @ Orchid Technologies "Pro-Designer II" board.
1 @ Diamond Multimedia (video card, I think)
don't have any literature or software for them..
Thank you for your time & have a nice day!..Tony

But in general, these probably aren't worth a whole lot.

Post by: giZmo350 on May 03, 2007, 03:34:25 PM: Yes, the Orchid Technologies "Pro-Designer II" (or as we used to call them "Orchid boards") is an ISA FULL LENGTH VGA card (max 256 colors @ 640x480 rez). I had bought one brand new back in 1987 for my Everex 286 for $300.00! Good call on using it with a bridge board... ;-) You might want to hold on to the Diamond ISA card though. They come in real handy when you need a card for an old 486 or Pentium machine!
