True. Even those Epia-boards have a slot. Luc, or anyone else, have a board
with VGA and totally without PCI, AGP or the like? Or is this a ROM space
issue?
My main concern is that console on VGA and ROM emulators are orthogonal, and
one should not pull in the other, for design reasons. But if there is no
hardware, I'll be quiet.
