It's a Halloween miracle! Got everything migrated and online just in time! ABQ Retro Computers has a new site! (Still a WIP.)

Got hosting through Verpex last night. Supposedly they don't require HTTPS or SSL for their sites.

Good news, someone else more responsible than me had the scans saved. https://scaniverse.com/scan/ciqeziisgalkpuj7

At default size, ~17FPS.

Each of the 3dmov demos run flawlessly by themselves. Running all 4 simultaneously 800x600 @32bit results in ~65% normal performance for each

Not gonna lie, I never even considered there was a Be driver for the Voodoo. That said: BeOS r4.5.2 -3Dfx Voodoo3 3000 PCI animated Be logo Doom fullscreen flawless Doom pixel doubled at ~25-30 FPS all resolutions at all colors (except 15-bit)

I only have R4.5 installed on mine but I'll still give it a try. Might not be until later tonight though.

I can confirm a self-flashed 3Dfx Voodoo 3 3000 will work, albeit only in minimal resolution and color with no option to change either. I recall Doom working fine though. I'll have to get you specifics later.

Tried finding it on mine. The spot on the PCB you pictured is very different from my card.

I've looked everywhere I could think that I would've kept that scan. Can't seem to find it.

Well this is embarrassing. I took a rough 3D "walkaround" scan with Scaniverse, but never got it properly done with a real scanner, and I've since sold the BeBox at VCFSW. I'll post that scan tonight though. I'm sure someone could polish it into something usable.

Out of curiosity, do you run Windows on yours? Mine will handle DOS just fine, but will always freeze during Win 95 installation.

FWIW, I've always had the best luck with USB Support 1.3.5 with my Opti chip card. Granted, this is for Old World, but I can't imagine it would make a huge difference.

If it's a Catalyst machine, it shouldn't have an issue taking the MP card. You'll almost certainly need to install the extension for whichever one it is, but beyond that it should work. From everything I see, these do not have NuBus slots, so the Rocket will not work at all.

For your viewing enjoyment: Blinkenlights

I'll have to take some tonight. Are both of your top caps missing? I still have 1 one of mine and am thinking about getting it scanned and printed. We have the identical model, so maybe making 3 would be worth it...

Perhaps I can get you some tomorrow! ;)

I technically wrapped this late last week, but after on-and-off working to get my 66MHz BeBox running, I can proudly report that it lives! As it turns out, the S3 GPU I was using had partial compatibility (displaying the splash and bootrom screens) but wouldn't go past that. I finally bit the...

Thanks for the assist. I believe the issue was that switch 1 on the Zulu was on, causing a HDD driver conflict. System is fully up and running without issues.

I believe it was off by default, but I'll ensure it is for my next try. I've tried both. The drives don't have to be formatted specifically as HFS+ beforehand, do they? I've found that the option is grayed out from Disk Setup. I've tried standard and clean install (at least for 9, since it will...
