- There have been a few articles on this before... from the looks of it no
- one seems to be writing a Mach 8-specific driver. If anyone out there is,
- can you please e-mail me? If not, this would be a good project. I'm keen,
- but I have no direct X experience. I think it would be better to write it
- for the Mach 8 as documentation is more easily available and it would work
- on older (!) ATI boards like the Graphics Ultra, not just the newer ones.
