I ocasionally see them on eBay. Often they go unbid on, even with a starting bid of $5 or so. These were the PCI versions of Radius/SuperMac's popular & fast Thunder line of Nubus cards. Alas, there were better PCI cards, after Apple's switchover to PCI, once ATI & IMS got into the game from the PC world. Soon thereafter Radius got out of the business. The base configuration was 2 MB, & there were add-on modules; I'm not sure whether these were proprietary. I think at least some of the cards had slots for PCI-Mac-style VRAM DIMMs. There was also Photoshop acceleration, but the support stopped with recent versions of Pshop (5 +), & recent OSes. I'm pretty sure these cards won't work at all under OS X. I hear it on the grapevine (try a Google search...) that the ThunderPower is the better (faster) card. Either way, I've resisted the temptation to buy; as I said, there are better early PCI cards for the same $$$. <http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/radius/thunpci.html> <http://vision.nyu.edu/Tips/VideoCards.html#Radius> -- Over, Jutso http://pages.ripco.net/~jutso/ -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
