IMPORTANT: UNTESTED VINTAGE HARDWARE.
This graphics card has not been functionally tested. No guarantee of functionality is made.
Cosmetically, the circuit board presents very well for its age. No obvious major corrosion, burned components or broken PCB areas were observed during visual inspection. The ISA edge contacts and metal connectors show normal age-related wear, oxidation/tarnish and evidence of prior installation/use.
The original retail box has age/storage wear including scuffing, creasing and edge/corner wear. Manuals, paperwork, diskettes and sleeves show normal age-related discoloration and storage/handling wear.
The original disks have not been tested and their readability is not guaranteed.
Excellent package for an IBM-compatible PC restoration, vintage computer collection, period-correct DOS system or Orchid Technology hardware collection.
Please inspect all photographs carefully. You will receive the exact card, box, manuals, disks, paperwork and accessories pictured.
