Regular PCI Voodoo, but with 8MB RAM (4MB FBI, 4MB TMU) and native HDMI output.

I posted the design files at http://sdz-mods.com/index.php/2024/05/20/voodoo-4400h/ , but I'll attach them here as well.
Also posted various assembly options (without extra RAM, without HDMI output).

The archive contains the editable schematic and PCB files, PDF schematic, GERBER files, BOM, P&P files, PCI bracket dxf, and the FPGA bitstream and MCS file for the flash used. After I cleanup the code a bit, I'll upload that as well.

The DIP switches enable or disable the extra 2MB FBI RAM and 2MB TMU RAM. These can be set always to enabled, and the extra memory can be disabled from autoexec.bat.

That is so amazing !

Why no HDMI passthrough ? 😉 (just kidding)

Right to repair is fundamental. You own it, you're allowed to fix it.

I thought about it, but then I'll have to make HDMI addons for 2D cards, also there was no space for another connector (and stacking the connectors and making a 2 slot V1 card would be silly).
