Hello MOS Team

Now that Genesi has complete dev docs for the XGI gfx cards what are the possibilities of a Cybergrafx driver??

And are these cards actually available anywhere?

Yes, I've seen a few on eBay.

And it looks like it might sell for a cheap price too. It looks like its their V3 model, so I don't think it is the top of the line card for XGI. It looks to be directX 8 level, so probably about as good as anything else we have on MOS now. I'd be into giving it a try for that price.

One advantage I can think of could be mpeg acceleration and deinterlace for mpeg players.

http://www.geeks.com/ also has it and lots more when done trough a google search with it's main characteristics...

"Out of Stock" did you buy the last one?

Well this thread isnt about availability of the cards - there were tons of them produced and can be had no problem if you know how to look. The issue is do the MOS guys want to do a driver? It would make sense since apparently Genesi has the docs... would be nice to hear from them on this.

I bet they know where to find those boards for you if you just make them an order...

The Open Client will be onsale this month with the *RoHS compliant V3XE* XGI graphic card and with the *LEADED V3XT* for those outside of Europe. Simultaneously, we will be launching this program:

Directron.com will also sell the cards individually, so we may just leave selling the single cards to them.

@Genesi

Are you/bplan building these graphic cards, or have you bought a stock of existing ones?

Sounds good. Have you supplied any of the MOS team with the docs for the XGI cards? Has anyone even asked?
