    Leave it out until you get everything else working, you don't know what other damage you did putting it in the wrong way.

    Hmmm... Well, I could grab a replacement on eBay. I think that's what I'll do.

    I think you're thinking of the Village Tronic MPDD - the desktop doubler. The Formac Proformance III shown was released as a high end...

    The Formac card is a Permedia III-based chipset, it is excellent for 2D but very early 3D - was released late in the cycle as a cheaper...
