I do have one... I never got it to do anything really exciting- I always figured there were better boards for that though.

It's the only board officially supported by Amiga Unix (out of the box, that is). Latter support for a few hraphics cards was released through the gateway CD (like the Picasso II), but the A2410 is the original dinosaur of graphics cards for the A3000UX and A2500UX...

There's info on using the Picasso II in Amiga UNIX here, I believe: http://amigaunix.com/tiki-index.php

Quoting amigaunix.com, pretty many cards do work:
 
at the moment the following boards are supported
- Domino 32K
- Domino 16M
- oMniBus
- Merlin (in ZorroII mode)
- Picasso II (only in linear mode)
- Piccolo (in ZorroII mode)
- Spectrum (in ZorroII mode)
The last four boards have blitter support, all boards support panning
of virtual/oversized screens.

But for that real authentic feel only the A2410 will do.

Honestly I'm just trying to rationalize why I still have mine :)

Yes, and wasn't it capable of 1024x1024 - huge in '91? OK, Visiona could beat it but the real RTG cards began to pop up in '92.
