picked up this nice early Actionmedia II DVI card run by Intel i750s Smile

the card is run by 2 i750s for desktop video editing

1 x Intel 82750PB Pixel Processor operating at 25 MHz, for compression and decompression of video. (marked KD82750B-25)

1 x Intel 82750DB Display Processor operating at up to 45 MHz. Supports standard VGA-, XGA-, NTSC-, and PAL-format monitors. (marked KD82750DB-45)

3 x 750 Gate Arrays run the Audio, Host & VRAM

card also comes with connection for video card (when overlaying video images)
2 x SCSI connections (40 & 50-pin) for a 1 x CD-ROM

some more specs on the card http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ohland/actionmedia.html

the Capture card was also installed (but not pictured) on the card when I found it Smile

Nice!! I have the same card, but without any of it's cables!

Could you do me a favor and post a pic of the special cables your card came with?
And did your card come with a feature connector cable? (should look like a floppy cable but with 26 instead of 34 wires).

And do you also have the driver disks?
If so, could you PLEASE upload them somewhere?

Edit: Pic! With daugherboard



Oh, and do me a favor and don't you dare desolder anything from it!! Razz

I only got the internal video connection cable with the card.. looks like a standard 26-pin header

here is the manual for the card.. shows all the cables
www.ibmmuseum.com/ohlandl/video/AM2DOC.PDF

the webpage i listed above has links to drivers
http://www.tavi.co.uk/ps2pages/ohland/actionmedia.html

or this page is particularly for IBM PS/2s

Thanks for the links, I've already found most of them when I went looking for info about these cards.
Btw, where did you get yours? There weren't that many made, they were very expensive and cutting edge when they were new.

Could you please post a pic of the 26pin cable?
I can't even remember ever having seen a pic of one, and I certainly never found one in the wild.
Even the wiki page doesn't have a pic of an actual cable of one, all I get are the 40p IDE cables -_-

I need to know if it has any twists in them etc so I can cannibalize a standard IDE cable to create one.

Thanks!

it is a straight 26-pin cable.. there is a drawing on page 78 (4-16) of the hardware manual.

the cable is twisted in the pic, because pin 1 is on the left of the Actionmedia card and on the right on the host VGA card (a 2Mb VESA).

it was in an unbranded 486 server case.. run by a fake Intel DX2-66 Laughing
