We are pleased to introduce you to our latest product - "Prometheus"
card for Amiga.
It is the most advanced PCI bridge adapter available for Amiga
computers equipped with Zorro III expansion slots. With "Prometheus",
a world of cheap, standard PCI cards opens before you!
Some features of the product:
- Works with any Zorro III equipped Amiga, regardless of the turbo/processor card installed in the
system.
- Four 32-bit PCI slots clocked with 33 MHz.
- Fits any tower case, also works with desktop A3000/4000s when open.
- Works with other Zorro III cards, supports AutoConfig (TM).
- Real transfer rates between Amiga and PCI cards - up to 12 MB/s.
- Real transfer rates between PCI cards - up to 120 MB/s.
- Additional on-board connector for the power supply.
- Professionally designed four-layer printed-circuitboard with gold-galvanized contacts - complies the PCI standard specifications.
Together with the "Prometheus" card we bundle a CD-ROM with:
- Drivers for the Voodoo3 graphics card, developed in close co-operation with Hyperion and the authors of Picasso96. 2D drivers work under the P96 system, 3D functions are available through
Warp3D.
- Drivers for a sound card and a network card.
- A completely FREE software development kit for programmers. There is no need to sign NDA and no additional fees - we want to make "Prometheus" the most open PCI bridge solution as far as the drivers development
goes.
- Demo versions of the games that use the 3D functions of Voodoo3: Heretic 2,
Shogo.

The "Prometheus" package also contains multi-lingual reference manual (also in English), holders for the bridge and PCI cards and the extension cord for a graphics card.
