Hi,
The only mention I've ever seen anywhere of a
Jaguar Blaster
card is here:
Yeah, I've seen that page and I *DO* know it's a spoof. :-)
However my comment was based on my recollections of an article and
photographs published in a magazine "back in the day". The photos showed
people playing Jaguar games, on several PCs equipped with a
"Jaguar-on-a-card", in a booth at some US electronics show or other....
These were pre-production units BTW, the product launch was still several
months away (and probably never happened by the look of it).
I don't recall now whether it was definitely made by Creative, but I thought
it highly likely in view of their "3DO Blaster".
Actually, there was a Jaguar-on-a-PCI-card project
called JagPC
that was at least announced by Sigma Designs. I don't think a prototype
ever existed, but I could be wrong....
Possible that's what I read about, but whichever card it was at least
pre-production cards did exist.
It's almost certain that I still have the magazine somewhere, if I can find
it (which could take months - seriously) I'll post some more info on what
the article said. Might have been in "Edge"...?
TTFN - Pete.
