Hi Bolton, Our c600 originally had a Matrox Mystique PCI card. We replaced it with a Radeon 7000 because the Matrox would not display millions of colors with the new ViewSonic monitor we purchased for the c600 when the original monitor died.
For what it is worth - The sticker on one side of the PCI card reads AAM37947. On the other side the sticker reads: MY22OP/2MACOE It also has the following printed on the card: MATROX 618-04 Rev: A The card has two 15 pin ports. (I don't remember the specific names of these ports...) One is the three rows of five pins style. The other is the two rows of pins with eight over seven. The later port has a plug/cover over it. In addition to the PCI card, there was a control panel needed to use the card. I have the software (somewhere) on a couple of floppies. The software for the Matrox Mystique worked with everything from OS 7.6 through 9.1 As I said, we only replaced it because it did not work well with the new monitor.
