833109 2009-11-24 04:24:00 I bought an Abit KN8 SLI mainboard from Trade Me. I have never heard of the requirement for a pci-e shadow card before, but this board requires a special card to fit the second pci-e slot when not operating two video cards in sli mode.
Is there anyone with a spare one of these? I will pay for it.
I have searched with google to try and find a web site or shop for this card but there is nothing.

What makes you think that the auction stated it needed one?
I have never heard of it myself.
You are certainly a great help.

I did ask him when I discoverd it needed the Shadow Card, from another auction where he was selling the same board, and he said there was none available. I asked very soon after I received the board. So its not like things changed.
But if he has given a months warranty I might have some leeway
Here is the original auction. You see that I checked that it had a I/O Backplate. I did not know it needed a Shadow Card or SLI Bridge, so never asked that. Only one or two modells of boards have used such.

If you have a friend in Australia who can get it for you, or if you can convince that guy to send it to NZ, you might be in luck!
