- Today, Vision Factory Development (VFD) and DCE Computer Service
- signed an exclusive contract about the use of current "CGX
- Voodoo"-Drivers. In contrast to earlier announcements , this driver
- will be exclusively available for the G-REX PCI expansion only. This
- contract guarantees the immediate availability and the best support a
- user can get for the current range of powerful voodoo graphics boards
- in conjunction with all currently available ppc accelerators of the
- Blizzard- and CyberStorm series. With the expected problems of PPC 3D
- drivers in conjunction with Mediator PCI and the currently available
- PPC accelerators in Dual-CPU mode (68K 2D driver) in mind, VFD
- decided to drop the further development of the actual Alpha Voodoo
- drivers for Mediator and concentrates on development for the G-REX
- PCI board because drivers were succesfully tested already. Voodoo3
- cards should give you a significant performance boost for the current
- range of PPC accelerated games, flawless working of the CyberGraphX
- driver can't be guaranteed due to technical hardware limitations of
- Mediator PCI though, so VFD decided to go that way.

- As a final note,
- CGX Voodoo driver alpha versions that are probably develivered with
- the Mediator hardware are in no way authorized or licensed by VFD.
- Current S3 ViRGE drivers are not affected by this agreement. DCE and
- VFD also decided to work together on additional drivers regarding
- both networking and sound in conjunction with G-REX PCI.
