The card does show up in early startup.You say docs - all there was was a
poorly photocopied single A4 pice of paper showing you how to fit it.

On the back of the page is some info on the jumpers, but doesn't show you
how. It says for OPEN and Closed. Is closed with that little black thing
actually over the two little legs/jumpers?

Would it not be best if I had either a SD or FF or both so as to only use my
SVGA? I'm confused. Waaaaaaaaaaaa.
Ther is a jumper for the accelerator board (it says but doesn't show which
one of them). Overall I am very dissapointed, I thought that Eyetech would
have at least have supplied proper documentation, and the info for my
CV64-3d was not much better, very confusing.
Cheers,
Simon
