Warsaw, March 29, 2001
We are pleased to introduce you to our latest product - "Prometheus"
card for Amiga.
It is the most advanced PCI bridge adapter available for Amiga
computers equipped with Zorro III expansion slots. With "Prometheus",
a world of cheap, standard PCI cards opens before you! Some features
of the product:
- Works with any Zorro III equipped Amiga, regardless of the
turbo/processor card installed in the system,
- Four 32-bit PCI slots clocked with 33 MHz,
- Fits any tower case, also works with desktop A3000/4000s when open,
- Works with other Zorro III cards, supports AutoConfig (TM),
- Real transfer rates between Amiga and PCI cards - up to 12 MB/s,
- Real transfer rates between PCI cards - up to 120 MB/s,
- Additional on-board connector for the power supply,
- Professionally designed four-layer printed-circuitboard with
gold-galvanized contacts - complies the PCI standard specifications.
Together with the "Prometheus" card we bundle a CD-ROM with:
- Drivers for the Voodoo3 graphics card, developed in close
co-operation with Hyperion and the authors of Picasso96. 2D drivers
work under the P96 system, 3D functions are available through Warp3D,
- Drivers for a sound card and a network card,
- A completely FREE software development kit for programmers. There is
no need to sign NDA and no additional fees - we want to make
"Prometheus" the most open PCI bridge solution as far as the drivers
development goes,
- Demo versions of the games that use the 3D functions of Voodoo3:
Heretic 2, Shogo.
The "Prometheus" package also contains multi-lingual reference manual
(also in English), holders for the bridge and PCI cards and the
extension cord for a graphics card.
Prometheus - no promises, just solutions.

New PCI bridge solution for Zorro III Amiga systems : Comment 3 of 38 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Darrin on 28-Mar-2001 22:00 GMT | In reply to Comment 2 (Rafo): They did say that it would fit in the A3/4k desktops with the case open. Perhaps their solution is to saw the back off the desktop case and leave the PCI cards hanging in air, only supported by the actual card slot itself. A truly original idea!!! I wonder if it comes with duct-tape, double sided sticky tape, paper clips and cardboard as part of the "installation kit"? :) |
