Hi iMac 233 A & B Users :
I was solely appointed manufacturing for iMac Game Wizard by Micro-Conversions Inc.
Unfortunately, after M.C's bankruptcy, I still keep around 2000 kits of raw materials. Now, I just completed all production and make finished products with testing.
I will be no problem to sell it at the lowest cost. You all know, that
's the only stuff that can upgrade your iMac 233 A/B. Please contact me if you have sales channel or you like to do it too.

Thank you in advance for your help

Hello,
I would be intrested in the iMac Game Wizard if it could run the new OpenGL games, but it has been my experience that it can't.
If you know of a driver that can run OpenGL on this card please post it to this forum.
I am aware that the generic drivers will sort of work but not very well, if you know of a better way please share it with us.
Thanks in advance

Hello Mr. Greg Williams,

Sorry, but I don't know how the driver will work on OpenGL. I am manufacturer for iMac Game Wizard only and produced per Micro-Conversions specification. ( Including driver/ operation manul ... )
I am a PC user, the reason I was involved in this business was that Micro Conversions gave me orders, I produced then shipped to wherever Micro-Conversions wanted me to shipped.

I sold around 1000 boards worldwide in past months. So far, no customer ask me about this related question.
I will post answer as soon as I got from my engineers. Thanks

C.B

Im pretty sure you can run Open GL with them... just use the beta drivers from the 3dFX website. For more information, go to www.xler8yourmac.com and click on 3dfx forum. Scroll down a bit, and you'll find a thread entitled "iMac gamewizard drivers" or something. Info in there.

Are you attempting to sell these to individuals or entirely in bulk through an established reseller/sales channel?

I got two iMacs which I might want to get these for. You said you sell them worldwide so how much would you quote the sending of two boards to New Zealand?

I want one for my revision-B iMac. How am I assured that I am going to get the card, and that this is not some scandal to get desperate gamers' money?

I can't help but wonder how you have a ton of these extremely sought-after cards this long after their last production run.

Do not take this in a hostile manner - I just need to know that my money will be safe.

I, GLC, is original manufacturer in whole world to produce this card. It was OEM project that we accept from Micro-Conversions Inc. I was involved in production program since the beginning when MCI developed this product.
