Anyone know how I can get my normal Indycar updated to Rendition for my
3D Blaster.

Any help appreciated.

   If you have a 3D Blaster PCI, ICR2-3D should have come bundled with
the video card.

   If you have a 3D Blaster VLB (as I fear), it uses an entirely
different chipset than the 3DB PCI (which uses the Rendition Verite
1000) and can't run Rendition-ready software.  The 3DB PCI, however,
is backwards compatible and can run 3DB VLB software written for CL's
proprietary API (CGL?).  (BTW, this is the *only* Rendition card which
does this.)


Pick one or more: Model Rockets (competition-NERCB) / PCs (even Atari!) /
Papyrus ICR-ICR2-NCR / Who needs a life when you have multiple non-lives?

I'm afraid you're wrong, Jeff. ICR2-3D does NOT bundle with 3D blaster.
It only comes with Intense3D (ex-Reactor), Screamin'3D and the Canopus(sp?)
card. Dean could try the indycar.exe found in Intergraph's web site, but
it won't give you the 5 16-bit tracks ...

I, in the midst of an intense brain-fart, blurted:

   Sorry, the CL 3D Blaster PCI is the one Rendition card that doesn't
come with ICR2-3D (I knew that, really!!!).  Some people have cobbled
together a functional version by using the Rendition ICR patch (for
Cyrix machines) on the Sierra and Intergraph WWW sites with the
NASCAR2 Speedy 3D files, but you still don't get the five 16-bit color
enhanced tracks.  


Before you send me UCE, I know what you're thinking...  Did he complain
to five or six postmasters?  "Do I feel lucky?"  Well, do you, punk?
