[rescue] Looking for 4 head AGP card (PeeCee)

[Brian Deloria]

I work in a Unigraphics shop so most of the workstations here are Dell
Precision based.  Most have dual DVI outputs, a few of the oddball ones have
a single connector that reminds me more of an HD-60 but wider, you have to
use a Y cable to break the single connector out into dual DVI connections.
Kind of weird but is this what you're talking about?
