Board images
This may have a link to a picture of it.
There are four pictures actually, one for a video card, (my guess is the primary bit plane) here
one for a 3D card, with 3 Weitek chips on it, here
and then two other pictures for the front and back of a DEC video local bus connector: I wish I knew what it was called.
and
And a system picture of the back, with all the video cards in place:
This is all very impressive. ForOldHack (talk) 01:45, 17 April 2024 (CEST)
- Thanks very much! (Complete listing here.)
- From what little documentation on them I could find, in the VAXstation 3520/3540 and 3820/3840 Maintenance Guide, that does seem to be it.
- That document calls the 'over the back' connector daughter-board a 'Graphics Frontplane' (pg. 1-21; pg. 38 of the PDF).
- The first card (above) seems to be the ' Graphics Output Module' (L2005) (see diagram on pg. 1-22, pg. 39 of the PDF), which must make the second card above the 'Graphics Base Module' (L2004).
- Alas, no image of the optional 'graphics expansion module' (L2006); I'll look for one in a moment.
- I'm not sure if the images are copyright, or if they'd be OK with us uploading them. (I have down-loaded them, so they will not be lost.) I'd think we can link to the images, though; will do so.
- I'd buy it, but I already have a whole basement full of obsolete computer gear my kids are going to have to deal with! :-) Jnc (talk) 06:44, 17 April 2024 (CEST)
