The PCI voodoo3 3000 has one, 26pins in 2 rows...
it is stupid, the pci busboards should offer by default a built-in switcher like the picassoII...

yes they could, they would only have to provide 2 inputs, an output and a digital switch which would be controlled by p96/cgx like it does on zorro RTG.
but let's search this FutureConnectors on the vga's... interesting!
