Stupid question: would this new graphic card work with my A3000 w/A3640?

How does this card compare with the VA2000 Zorro II Video Card (FPGA based gfx card) being developed by Lukas Hartmann. There is a separate thread about this one here http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69972&highlight=FPGA+graphic+card

Presumably if it physically fits (no reason it shouldn't that I can think of, since it looks like it was designed for A2000) and you can figure out the drivers (comments above should help).  But it's Zorro II, so you won't get the advantages of your faster bus.

Plenty of folks use a PII in A3k and are happy with it.  If it were me, I'd hold out for a Zorro 3 graphics card.  ;)


But, I don't have an Indivision. I use the native VGA port in the A3000; if this is relevant.

OK, after returning from almost 1 month of business travel, and reading this thread, I jumped in the wagon and bought my own Matzes a1k.org Graphics Adapter.

So question, and I should have asked this before my purchase: Do I need any additional accesory(ies) to install the card in my A3000D, w/A3640? My video/gfx Zorro slot (the very top one in my setup) is free since I don't have any gfx card at this moment.
