Supposed to have 2 dual-link DVI, and TV-out. They recently released the preliminary schematic, and are looking for people to review it. Hardware bugs, changes that would help the device drivers, etc. If you have ever complained about a hardware design, here is your chance to influence a design *before* the mistake is committed to silicon. schematic and BOM at: http://natsuki.kinali.ch/ http://opengraphics.org/ Beware, some of the info here is out of date. mailing list archive: http://lists.duskglow.com/open-graphics Step one is FPGA to work the bugs out. (and perhaps useful for other things) Step two will be ASIC ( smaller, cheaper, less heat, and faster then the FPGA )
