> Rodolphe mentions the PCI to be Milan compatible (I hope this means compatible with drivers as well).

They defined their own PCIBIOS standard to be able to deal with differences in hardware, so if the drivers use that to find the cards, drivers could be compatible.

Incidentally, I once tried to get fVDI/RageII to work on a Milan (Ozk's, IIRC) using the features of that PCIBIOS, but things didn't behave as I expected them to (or perhaps some things weren't actually implemented, or strangely documented), so we never got all the way. It certainly would be doable, though, and probably not even take long (if I had direct access to a Milan, at least).

> I think at least they use S3 cards with the Milan.

But those cards are likely as old and unavailable as the RageII.

I actually have the manual for the S3 Virge on a shelf here and it seems to document the 3D stuff as well. Don't remember if I ever got hold of one of those cards, though (I have a pile of miscellaneous PCI graphics cards somewhere).

> So what about SuperVidel?

I'd still buy one, but that's because I want to reprogram the FPGA. ;-)
