To make SRM accept cards it doesn't recognize in the 64-bit slots, do:
>>> set pci_device_override -1
Haven't tried a Radeon 9200 at all, but a Radeon 7500 should work fine
in the MIATA. Also, a Radeon 9100 has been fine in many boxes, though
I can't remember if I've tried it in anything but ones with EV6.
I had problems with 7000 under X in several boxes, though SRM didn't
have any problems with it. It seemed somewhat "crippled", compared to
7500 and 9100, performing poorly in comparison, besides hanging
several boxes HARD... :-(
BTW, 9250 seems to be the latest (last?) PCI card I've seen; and it,
along with 9200, can be had in 64-bit memory bus versions which will
perform poorly compared to their 128-bit bus brethren, so be careful
of the details...
Oh, and if you can find an old Voodoo3 3000 PCI, those are QUITE nice,
and work under SRM, and perform well... :-)
Good luck.
