Supermac video cards. Please help me to identify these.

Hello NuBus experts and collectors.

Can you please, help me to identify these two cards?

I could not find any information regarding their resolutions capability.

Video NuBus card monitor matrix:

http://home.earthlink.net/%7Egamba2/vid-mon-matrix.html

has E-Machines "Ultra LX" listed, but mine is Supermac "Ultura LX".

Rom on the other card has "1152" marking, but only cards that are listed there with "1152" in their names are Supermac Thunder II Gx 1152 and Supermac Spectrum Power 1152.

I Googled for pictures, but none of the cards I was able to find look like mine.

Sorry for the 'not so good' pictures, I made them without tripod and under poor light conditions. If anyone want better quality pics for their collection/archive, let me know.

Cheers,

ojfd

If it has "1152" in the name, it's probably the low end/earlier/less VRAM version of the SuperMac Thunder II GX and I'm not nearly as jealous as I might have been!

I've been dying to get my grubby lil' paws on one of the two or three NuBus cards that'll do 1600 x 1200! }

Nice Card! Install it, along with the other one, in a Mac and run SlotInfo from the "Gauge Series" or TechTool to filch the cards actual identities off their Declaration ROMs. [

p.s. better pics are ALWAYS welcome! :approve:

Thanks for reminding me about "Gauge Series"! See what happens, when one doesn't visit 68k land on the daily basis

Look what SlotInfo reported:

1. Super Mac Thunder II 1152 v.3

2. E-Machines Ultura LX v.2
