Hello all, i found this matrox card in a junked system ..Its a 1997 Pci slot
Matrox 708-01 rev A..It has 2 outputs ..one vga and one 17 pin output...The
mga chip is mga-2164wp-c 972ku200..I think it has 4 mb on board...any info
appreciated especially what the second output does and where drivers can be
found.


Sounds like a Matrox Millenium.


There were different Milleniums. However ...

Details and drivers should be on the Matrox site.


.... I had little trouble finding the details on the Matrox site
when I got my junked 1995--1996 cards two years ago.

Great card in its day, something of a museum piece these days.


Still enough for everyday use, except the cards I got didn't have the
RAM required for 1600x1200 in 24-bit. Possibly they had problems with
1600x1024 in general, too.
