Write to the company requesting information on how to program the card
at the register level. I wrote to the creaters of the Glint chip (3dlabs
I think... :) and they sent me free of charge a programmers manual which
was pretty cool - I just didnt have the money to pay for a $3000 graphics
card at the time... ;)  Anyway, the hardest thing you will have to do is
get the information out of the company - I tried and most of them just gave
me the "NO DOS, WINDOWS GOOD" thing, and a speech on using their supplied
drivers with Direct 3D (just between me and the whole world, ewwww.... :)

Leathal.
