    Hi guys, I have a peg1 here with MorphOS2.x and voodoo3 graphics card. It is connected to a 720p HDTV with SVGA input, with a cybex keyboard/mouse/vga switcher.

    It works fine, but the voodoo was designed before HDTV standards were common.

    Can anyone recommend a graphics card for the peg1 that can output to an 720p HD LCD monitor with HDMI input? I'm sure the cheapest cards output DVI, which needs an adapter or a cable with DVI and HDMI connectors..

    My radeon 9000pro and my 9200 has a DVI-output ... these are more or less the fastest cards you can get for MorphOS.
    But I doubt that you will get something to see on your tv when you connect it with a DVI-to-HD adapter unless your TV supports this.

    They don't exist - no AGP card built for HDMI comes in voltage level that is compatible with the Pegasos I.

    Your best bet is to get a DVI to HDMI cable (which would not be more than $10 if you check Amazon or so. Do NOT go to Best Buy or any retail outlet, they will charge you a fortune) and a cheap Radeon 9250.
