Title: Mediator a1200
Post by: Linchpin on June 30, 2004, 08:30:11 AM

Just wanted to ask - Is the voodoo the only GFX card that works?

Has anyone got a list of compatible hardware?

Thanks

Kev

Pretty much...

Unless you can find an old S3 ViRGE SX card lying around somewhere, but there's no advantage to be gained in running ViRGE in place of Voodoo.

The S3Virge worked like a charme here. Definitly when they got H/W supported! Ofcourse the Voodoo is much faster, the S3 still allows you to browse at a decent speed and resolution. Contact me if you would like a S3, maybe i have one here floating around.

Not sure if the Trio is supported?

It's the same chipset as the old Cybervision 64 (note: not the 3d version which was equipped with ViRGE).

All you can do is check the supplied driver documentation and see if it's supported...

"It's the same chipset as the old Cybervision 64 "?

The Trio is?
