Someone thought is was a good idea to stick two R9 290X onto one card.

So in order to actually follow the PCIe standards, that many connections are necessary.

I never tried it myself, but it was given to me as dead, so I doubt it'll be of any use. And I don't really want to sell it, it goes quite nice with other old stuff I have like core memory, punch cards and reel-to-reel data tapes.

>>61954537
It was in a humongous 6U rack with like 14 ISA slots, one of them had a Pentium 4-based SBC. I have two other cards which are effectively half this, with two 486s. I think they are some kind of telephone line multiplexers, I remember reading something about them being able to do 64 lines per pair of BNCs

Soo, I just bought a second one of these on ebay for $65 because I guess I like wasting money. According to the seller it doesn't power on so I can already narrow the problem down to the power supply board. I have the service manual with schematics plus a working reference unit so I should be able to get things up and running. Hopefully there aren't other issues as well.

I am mildly concerned because the +18V rail seems to be derived from the 200V rail via Q1, Q2, R2, R3, and R4. If R2 and Q2 failed short circuit for whatever reason the +18V rail would be pulled up to 200V which would cause cascading failures throughout the device. I think that is unlikely though.

I also picked up a tested working Fluke 8840A 5.5 digit VFD DMM similar to that HP/Agilent 6.5 digit one that I don't remember the model number of. Supposedly they are pretty nice, I'm fairly certain I have the true RMS AC voltage/current option but the listing said the GPIB option was removed which I can live without.

Deleted out of shame because I forgot pic.
