Unfortunately, Retina is  the only card that Imagine works with. The 
reason being that Retina uses Chip Ram for its emulation and not Fast Ram.

On an EGS board (I have a Piccolo), Imagine can be promoted, but you 
constantly have to use redraw function any time the object is scaled, or 
rotated or moved, as the grid where the object is dissapears.
We need for Imagine to become retargetable.
