RS6000 E20 video board

[ozkender]

Guys, I know this is a hardware related question but i think you might know an answer.

I'm looking for a video board for a RS6000 E20 server but couldn't get one user or new. even from IBM!!!

Since this is a PCI system, do you know if a PC video board could work? if it could, is there anything special I need?

Thanks very much

IBM is the last place to try - they only supply current kit. You need a GXT110P (feature code 2839) to go in slot 1 or 2; a GXT250P (feature code 2851) to go in slot 1 - 5; or a S15 (feature code 2657) to go in slot 1 - 5. Standard PC cards will not work except in text-only mode (you may as well buy an ASCII terminal instead, or use an old 386 running a terminal emulator).

These cards are common (and cheap) from brokers.
