I have been waiting for a card like this for so many years. Just at the
eve before I switch to OS/2, here it is! And now, see what happens to my GS:

* The monitor gone monochrome (occasionally back to colour as it wish)

* and the harddisk no longer boot! Now I am using Proterm from floppy. And
  it happens only JUST NOW.

The timing... :(

I was wonder whether my harddisk can be fixed (I think it is only the power
supply problem), and whether my monitor can be hooked up using a SVGA monitor
with Second Sight. I am not prepare to reinstall my my GS software once again,
so now it is either I have one of the best GS system on earth (Second Sight,
PCT, RAMFast, Zip, etc etc etc), or leave it all together.

PS: For all of you who is waiting for me to upload the desktop Mandelbrot
generator, I have problem uploading to my Sun from GS. Maybe I would ask
some others to upload for me.
