As posted in 68K Conquests, the Quadra 840AV has arrived at base here. It has an Apple NuBus video card in it, and I'm trying to figure out which one it is exactly. I've looked at the pics on NuBus City, but it does not look exactly like any of the cards on there. Though it does look very much like the 8•24 card, except some of the chips on it are arranged differently than the pic shows on NuBus City. When I hooked up my Multiple Scan 15 to it, I could only do 640X480, but millions of colors. So, I'm still curious as to what this thing is exactly. Here is a scan of my specimen. Help me find out what this card is exactly. Thanks!macdaddy - 68KMLA Field Meteorologist

I'm 99% certain that's one of these http://www.lowendmac.com/video/apple8-24.shtmlI've got one also...just a few minor variations in stickers and silk screening. In the bottom right corner (relative to your scan) mine says "©1990/91 Apple Computer 820/0600-A Macintosh display card 670-" which corresponds to the article above. Not the worlds greatest Nubus video card... but worth having nonetheless. Cheers!

OK, on the bottom corner the card reads: ©1990 Apple Computer
820-0600-01 Bungee Video 630- So this is probably a flavor of 8•24 then... macdaddy - 68KMLA Field Meteorologist

I've got three of those "Macintosh Display cards". Two of them have the solder pads for the VRAM sockets with the card's ram already soldered on to the card. The third one has the two VRAM sockets and no other VRAM soldered onto the card. Oddity.--------------------

it's apple hardware, adding oddity is redundant. have you checked the part numbers and tested the capabilities of the cards against each other, with and without the VRAM Simms installed? it'd be just like those idiots to sell the same card in three different variants as with or three different product codes.check to see if the SIMM model has the same performance as the fully implemented mobo rev. without the VRAM SIMM slots. it wouldn't surprise me at all if they had exactly the same capabilities and that without the SIMMs that version was a 4/8 and with them it was an 8/24 or some such stupidity. jt ™. .

Well, son. If it was accelerated, it would be a hell of a lot faster than "dog slow" From what I hear my card 'Macintosh Display Card 670-" is just an 8*24 incognito. --------------------
