Bare hyggelig.

With an ATI Rage Pro? No. With a Rage 128? Definitely, yes. The best,
though, is a Radeon 7000 or Radeon 9200 or Radeon Mac Edition. With
these, there is a hack to enable Quartz Extreme and get accelerated
video.

I looked for a cheap 128 for my Beige but could not find one. I used
to use a Voodoo5 (which was in the machine when it was given to me),
which is an extremely fast card under OS9 but has no OS X support at
all, regrettably. Indeed you must enable XPostFacto's "Use Old NDRVs"
option for it to display a usable image at all.

If you are getting items shipped from America (and you must be keen if
you do that!), then, if you like, you could ship them to me in London
and I will forward them to Oslo for you. I do this for friends in
Sweden already and it can avoid paying import tax. If I let my friend
Elin persuade me to come visit her, I might even deliver! She lives in
Majorstuen, as I recall, but I know the area around Grünerløkka best
myself. :-) I am sure we could meet up somewhere, though I understand
that So What is no more, which is a terrible shame...
