Hello guys,

I recently won an auction on eBay for a bunch of 'vintage Mac stuff'. In the package were included three Radius video cards. Two are identical (Nubus?) cards, of rather short length, and identified by a sticker that says "RasterOps Paintboard Turbo XL, ©1994 RasterOps Corporation". The other appears to be a Radius PCI video card, but I haven't had much luck googling for info about this one, so I've taken some pictures of it:

1. An overview of the card.

2. Detail of the first half.

3. Detail of the second half.

4. A detail of the back (I don't know if it's useful).

I've found some information on the Paintboard Turbo XL, but I wanted some insights from 68kMLA soldiers 'in the field', so to speak. Is this a powerful card? Can it be an improvement on stock Macintosh video cards? Consider that the only Nubus Mac I care for at the moment is my Quadra 950.

Same goes for the other video card I took pictures of -- can someone identify it? Does it ring a bell? What about it?

Thanks in advance for all the help you may give me!

Cheers,

Rick
