Hi!
I have an RS/6000 Powerstation 355 that I've rescued with an 8-bit
1280x1024 video adapter. I was hoping to go up to a 24-bit board,
perhaps with 3D acceleration, at little or no cost if at all possible.
(Seeing how old this box is, and that I got it for nothing, I don't
want to pay eBay prices for an adapter.) It would have to be an MCA
adapter supported by the 355 and by AIX 4.2.1. If such a beast doesn't
exist -- let me know so I can stop looking and guessing. (I suppose
if you do know, a model number or part number might be useful too.)
I have several RS/6000 bits from a 3AT that I scavenged, that I would
be willing to trade, including 2 64MB memory kits, the CPU riser card,
the tiny 10 Meg ethernet board, and another 8-bit video adapter
(details and part numbers for all available upon request). I was
hoping that someone has a spare adapter, or wouldn't mind going
headless or 8-bit instead. (I might be able to trade 2 8-bit adapters
for a 24-bit adapter, so you could go dual-head if you wanted. I
would, but I don't have a free slot on the machine.)
Thanks in advance!
Mike.
