It's a RTG Graphics card with Cirrus GD5434 chip and 2 MB of RTG memory. Just like PicassoII etc but with a faster chip.

"Yes, it works with Picasso96 using the blahblahblah driver."
The blah... driver is here, either of them:

With a GD5434 it's merely a Piccolo clone, just a plain ZorroII version. And that's why something much faster has no use with ZorroII 3.5 MB/s max "speed" which isn't enough even for 640x480 at good fps.

Because it's made primarily for A500 and at a low price.
Actually it started from Georg Braun's Amiga 1000 GBA060 replacement motherboard.
