    The only card I can say I've never seen, strangely isn't the mysterious PCI-X video card.....it's an AGP PRO video card.....remember those huge agp slots that you could never find a video card for.....

            Thanks much, pcbonez, found the driver and it works. Don't know why I couldn't find it; looked at Dell and a bunch of other places. I'll have to try that site for a couple of other ati cards I can't find drivers for.

                Got harder to find when AMD bought out ATI but they are still out there.

                    I had a look at the video output connector in the photo - 25 pins or more.

                    Didn't like the look of that, so I passed on the auction.

                        That slot was mostly used for high end "professional" workstation cards. We had a set of workstations with 3Dlabs Wildcat 5110 cards. Google for it and you can still find pictures of the card. They were really nice cards, for the time, but were so darn long that we had to use full height server cases to house the electronics. With shorter cases the card wouldn't go into its slot because the drive cages interfered.
