It has the extra connectors for TV input soldered on which are normally not there.

For some reason Bunsen springs immediately to mind, but I don't think that's right. I do remember someone was looking for one.

Yea that seems to be the one that can be used to add a TV tuner to it. that is a rare one to find. but that will only work in the non AIO Beige G3's cause it lacks those 2 AIO ports. but it will work in the MT and DT Beige G3's.

i guess you might be able to use that in a AIO if you have the VGA video card to internal monitor mod, but i do think you need a few connections from the AIO connector on the AIO wings card for the mod to work. but even if the mod does work without the AIO version of the wings card you will lose a few abilities the AIO has over the other Beige G3 models

my 2 A/V wings cards for my AIO has the 10 pin port but you have to add the connector (and other hardware) to it cause its a ghost port. not many of them has even a ghost port to work with.

mine is this card

i have seen a few AIO wings cards that lacked the ghost port to even try to mod it to support a tv tuner

What's so special about that one? I've got one just like it (all the ports and connectors) in my Beige G3. I thought the one with the DVD Decoder was the one you were after.

I'll have to go down to the cellar and check my two to see what they have.

Both of mine look like this one

Looks the same only it doesn't have the S-Video symbol or the words In and Out written on it. Is it the same board?
