Mystery Nubus video card with VGA connector?

[willmurray461]

I recently bought a IIfx with this video card in it.

It's quite strange; I've never seen a Nubus video card with a VGA connector on it. It also has a mysterious second connector.

The card is labeled "BigView Video Board" and seems to have been manufactured by a company called "Stella Systek corp."

I was unable to find any information about either the card or the company.

Anyone seen one of these before?

Unfortunately, I can't get it to work. It doesn't show any picture when connected to a monitor, so I'm not sure what it's capable of. Judging from the ICs though, it looks like it has 4MB of VRAM and a decently fast 125MHz RAMDAC.

That's cool -- whatever it is. Try holding down some keys (option, shift, and maybe even try letters 's' 'b' 'v') and see if it cycles through some video choices.

Run TattleTech to get some additional information.

If you have a ROM reader, you could dump the ROM and we can take a look manually.
