I got a box today.
It had the Matrox RTMac card.
It looks nice.
Can't wait to install it.

Try this here

they have more but you probably wanna keep it on the low side. i can supply x and 9 drivers and premiere or fc 2 and 3 if needed.
Yes I would like OS 9 drivers please (and maybe premiere and fc not sure what will be easier for me to learn at the moment).
Also do you have a manual at all?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it, or break it so you can fix it!

the hard copy manual aint much of a manual just the installation part of the card. same pdfs are part of the installer. premiere or fc is your taste . you can get fc2 at macgarden if you wanna look at it and decide to go for it we get you the third version and your all set. im digginn in my treasure box for the carton.

I'll probably use FC as I have a small bit of experience with that.  I am not locating any drivers/hardware software, no disc was included.  So if you do have anything that would be awesome. If not, I will keep searching.

here is the installer i have on the disc manuals and extras are in the archive i only left the other langs out unless you like german and so on :D

https://www.dropbox.com/s/k3k2bxhwx4kfizu/rtmacos9.sitx?dl=0

get this here and even pull the tutorials to get you started with the app if needed

http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/final-cut-pro-20

when installing you have to choose prem or fc make sure fc is installed first so the templates and and settings go in the folders where they need to be.

if you got the time i need to dig around to get to fcp3 (weekends)

i just learned about capture devices which gamers use to record their play for youtube.

seems many of them still support VGA, yet often limited to 2k resolution.

see comments section here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSSChO-JdQU

that would be on my to do list, recording this way things directly from VGA can easily be realized using an Y-VGA cable and it will pull nothing from your CPU resources.
