A new open source 'Zorro' Graphics Card?

Yeah, but I'll buy wholesale.  I really don't want to trust the chance of cheap knock-offs.  I don't mind $29 if it means I get what I pay for.

You buy wholesale, but you pay more than I do?
The cheap $5 'knockoffs' work perfectly for me, I have three of them.

Some Chinese stuff is junk, but these have performed flawlessly.

I rather not take chances.  I saw $5-ish IDE to SATA adapters back when they were generally $25-$50 each which had no logic just wiring.  Same for USB-to-Firewire adapters.  Can't tell until you get them in many cases and it's a waste of time and money.

Some people have all good experiences, some have good with occasional bad mixed in; I personally like much better odds and guarantees.  I have neither the time nor the money to waste.

WOAH!  Running this thing in 1280x920 (best this monitor will support) at 16bit is awesome.  Though for some reason I am having problems getting backdrops to load (using fresh installation of WarpDT datatypes.)

On a 25MHz 040 this thing really makes a difference in working with Workbench.

Glad to hear it. That's double bandwidth of AA chipset in colour depth and if it's refreshing good and quick, does indeed make a big difference to GUI friendly applications.

A big up from ECS I guess too, although ECS can only really be snappy at maybe quarter the horizontal and vertical resolution with far few colours.

Modern graphics cards = faster video Ram. Better than most classic hardware, and if it doesn't break the bank, even better.

Now, where did I stash all the nifty 3D design and CAD software... Should really behave itself. Not so much rendering 3D scenes as being able to move around and tweak things in an editor.
