Mac video card

Howdy! I have a Power Mac 8100/80 with a PDS video card installed. The card has 2MB of VRAM soldered onto it, and slots for 4 72-pin SIMMS. Does anyone know where I can get more info for this card? The number on it (820-0509-A) doesn't return anything on Apples support site. Help! Can I update drivers? What size VRAM does it accept? Help! I haven't got any manuals, as I bought my Mac second hand! Thanks! Si.
the vram slot you have are not 72-pin. They are, I believe either 64 or 68-pin vram type. You can get them from macsales.com, ebay, macsolution.com. they cost around 10 to 20 dollars each.

I'm still curious about the origin of this card. I've got one too; just like Si, it's a card in a Mac 8100. I may have fried it recently and I don't even know who makes it.
