Basically, they told me if I wrote them a note on company letterhead, and asked really nicely, and told them why I wanted to program the card, they just might let me buy the documentation. This is after I called before I ordered the card to find out if I could purchase the docs, when I was told they were $50. I cancelled my order, and got an Orchid Farenheit 1280 instead. It has a much nicer display than my old STB PowerGraph from 1990. I won't buy black-box hardware, especially from a company that doesn't seem to know what's going on. They haven't even released their Ultra+ cards yet. This is how many months after they were supposed to be released? Look out, this appears to be a new trend in video card manufacturing. Gene
