As I mentioned the other day, I surprisingly won an auction for a CyberVision 64/3D RTG graphics card for a stunning $157. I realize that's a lot of money, but for a card like this it's a total bargain. It's at least $100-200 less than what I'm used to seeing this card sell for on Ebay.
In any case, I got it so I could put it into the same machine that I recently installed a Phase 5 CyberStorm Mk2 060 @ 50Mhz. Yep, that means pulling my ZZ9000.
The graphics card arrived today.
This first photo, with note added to the inside top-flap of the box by the seller, I guess kind of says it all.
My hope is to simply move the ZZ9000's drivers in the Devs/Monitors drawer out and over to Storage (thanks to toaster4000 for the advice) and drop the new card in. Since I already installed the drivers my dream is it'll simply work. It might take some fiddling, but hopefully nothing too complicated. When dealing with hardware projects like this I sometimes feel like I'm walking on eggshells a bit mainly due to my lack of experience. My biggest fear would be pulling the ZZ and the machine deciding not to boot anymore. I will scan the Startup-sequence and User-startup really quickly to ensure there aren't any obvious calls to ZZ software.
If the CyberVision does what I want it to do (i.e. work with other programs I have installed), I'll seriously consider selling the ZZ so someone else can enjoy it in all its glory. Hopefully I'll have that answer fairly soon.
