Yes it's a TwinTurbo.
Did my homework and followed all the links reqarding the video issue.
Downloaded the "drivers" per a 1998 tech note at
http://irb.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~danilo/linux.html patched my build and
recompiled my kernal.
As it turns out the build has a driver for the card labeled that is
newer and labeled "experimental".
Well after about 5-6 rebuilds with no luck I elected to leave the
driver out altogether ... and low an behold the card is now being
recognized by dexter.
Message = Setup Located the following card OFfb/bandit/IMS,tt128mbA
Now the funny thing is that I had given up on the card and was going to
swap it for a Matrox card 4mb video I believe it is a millenum II.
Which is why I remover the drivers for the TwinTurbo in the first place.
Since it is a PC card and I am putting it into the mac (Which at this
put I should mention worked before I foolishly reinstalled my linux) I
am relying on the linux to establish a connection to it on a blind
reboot. The new build has the drivers (as modules... would not compile
without errors when I tried to include it into the kernal).
Bottom line is that I have no video on the Matrox card. ... and only
the command line video on the TwinTurbo.
I don't really care which card I use... but it seems that I am closer
to resolving the video problem with the twin turbo with maybe a Kernal
Argument?
Anyone?
