	This particular card sounds exactly like my Second Sight video card.
The idea was to make a SVGA card as a replacement for the built in
video. If it is the GS version it has 1Mb of video RAM. This allows for
more colours and a higher resolution. It also has a 20 MHz processor on
board. The main point (at least for me) is if the GS monitor goes the
card is capable of using a PC SVGA monitor which is much easier to find.
