Recommended GRex setup
« on: January 21, 2013, 07:50:56 AM »
I'm fortunate enough to have a CyberStormPPC 366mhz/50mhz in my possession. I'm even more fortunate to have a Grex 4000D - and I would like to build a "modern"/classic high performance setup :)

I'm chasing recommendations for the Zorro/PCI slots. I'd like USB, Network, GFX and sound cards installed. There's lots of options and so on, and can sometimes make the head spin!

So, what are peoples opinions on the best overall options for the above cards?

You should send them to me :D

But I think PCI wise Voodoo 3 3000 (this will work with Warp3D and on your setup produce awesome results)  I really want to see your Quake II Timedemo results!

Sound and Network cards are listed here:

I used my Grex 1200 with Voodoo 3, ESS-Solo sound card and Realtek 8039AS Lan card, worked perfect...  You can use FM801 sound cards on the A4000 version, these are easier to come by.

It's in a box at the moment as I'm using my Mediator PCI (due to OS4.1 Classic) but now I have an AmigaOne I'm thinking to put the Grex back in my A1200T or (now this is where things get interesting)

Install an A1200 and Grex inside my A1000 chassis :hat:

On a similar setup I had I used a Voodoo3 3000 for gfx, a Terratec 512i sound card, a Deneb USB and a Realtek 8029AS NIC.
