    Wow! Couple of really nice parts. Some of my viewers also offered to donate a voodoo 5 couple of times, but I always refuse. Most of the people just don't know what they have there and how much it costs. Anyway, that ATI soundcard is also a really rare one. I collect ISA sound cards and hunted it for a long time. I think this was the most expensive retro card which I ever payed for. It's a SB2.0 clone, the two missing ICs can be upgraded with SAA1099 to get CMS compatibility. It is very well built, much better quality, than from Creative and it also has proprietary 16-bit digital sound support, but I didn't find any game which would support it. You can use it from the software though. If I remember right, this card had compatibility issues with some games, but I'm not sure. In any case, this is a hit for every sound cards collector.

      They also made a VGA Stereo F/X which was the same thing combined with a VGA Wonder XL on the same card.

    I really thought that Diamond Card at 10:44 was the Voodoo Banshee... 😅 I should have read the sticker on the backside properly before wrapping it up I guess...It is also made by Diamond, at first glance it looks similar, but it's called "Monster Fusion". I must have mixed things up while browsing trough my collection 🙃 Sorry for that 🙄

    The first video card I ever purchased was a Diamond Viper V770, although I remember it having active cooling. I was a teenager when I bought it and paid for it with my summer job money, I felt like a god with that video card. Going from software rendering only to my first 3D accelerator was such a huge difference.

    Sold tons of P75 back in the day. Also for some fun on those pci video cards. I got the idea one day of asking how much to order a block of ram upgrade chips. Oh, that cheap. Sure send me a few tubes. Then I just loaded up the extra 2 slots. Did the same thing with wave table interfaces on 3rd party sound cards. :) Fun times. Oh and this was before the internet so asking a distributor about stuff like tubes of video ram was the thing to do.
