Thanks for the tip Jeff! It is indeed a 30/1152. I even found drivers for it
and installed it into my daughters 7200/120, Working fine. Apparently the
DSP card is a waste if you have a PPC?

I'm curious though whether it has much speed advantage for gaming over the
7200's built-in video. Anyone know any good test utilities that woul show
things like quickdraw performance, etc?

The problem is that you STILL don't get any photos of the actual cards.

Lotsa spiffy stuff about performance, but I still can't say what card it is
I have the half of.

The wayback archive can be useful for stuff like this too.
Here is one example from about 20 pages listed just by inputting Radius.com

Nor I. It's probably going to be best identified by Googling the chips
on-board until one of them produces a clear hit.

It's a shame that the information on older Macs and their peripherals is
getting harder and harder to find on the internet.

It'd be great if there was a group preserving everything about these items
so that finding photos and concise info, say from the manuals they were
packed with, was much easier.

Re: Mystery Radius PCI Card

Well, I decided to throw this PCI Radius card into my G3 Workgroup Server
(which I didn't want to do because it's been running smoothly for 5 months
without a restart) to run System Profiler and see if it gave a clue. Not
much help. It identifies the device as "RDUS,GoldenGate". Of course, I can
find no reference to a GoldenGate model by Radius anywhere.

I'm not anxious to start loading up various drivers to try it out either.
I'd like to keep my server healthy! The mystery will just have to continue
for now.

Oops. Sorry.
Maybe you can find someone with a PCI slot Mac? You want to sell it?
Here just found this: http://vision.nyu.edu/Tips/VideoCards.html
Matthew
That's what the eBay seller says. That's not me. I just happen to have the
same card and the same mystery. I don't have a system up and running yet to
try your suggestion, unfortunately, but maybe soon.

I've gone to an Italian and a Japanese site that featured rough fotos of the
cards they were discussing.

It seems that it can be a Thunder 30/1152 or?.

I have one here. It's only gonna be a video card because the DSP card is
missing.

Still, pretty impressive for a buck or two

You said it worked in your G3. Why not look in the System Profiler to 
see if it gives more clues?

Matthew
Like the seller of this card, I have no idea what model it is! There isn't
even an FCCID that I can search with. Radius must have been taking lessons
from the memory manufacturers when they built this.
Anyone have a clue what this is?

Mystery Radius PCI Card

[Randall Thomas]

Hi,
I have the same Radius video card as the one that is pictured for sale on
eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25449&item=5109313968
&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

(sorry if it word wraps)

Like the seller of this card, I have no idea what model it is! There isn't
even an FCCID that I can search with. Radius must have been taking lessons
from the memory manufacturers when they built this.

Anyone have a clue what this is?

Randall
