Hello folks,

I'm plugging along in my quest to spec out a nice 486 system to get and
run 386BSD and X on.  I've seen a few advertisements for the ATI Mach32
video card.  It seems this is a local bus card that can do 1024x1280 in
256 color mode.  Does anyone know if this has an S3 or ET4000 chipset?
Can you run X on it?

				Thanks,
