Interesting link I just came accross. Site looks current, figured maybe some people would be interested. They also have some driver downloads!

On that website it says -

"If you don't see what you need, Micro-Labs can design a custom board to your specifications"

It also says -

"If it has to do with graphics and we don't have it, let us find it or design it"

Does that mean they can make one of these?

LMAO, now that would be a site to see! I am very surprised to see anyone still selling new cards based on these ancient graphics chips. Too bad they are so expensive, otherwise I would love to have on of their 'Ultimate Truecolor/XL2' ISA cards to try out on my old 386 machine!!!!!!!

Ya the BitchinFast will always be dreamy. Once upon it a time it was the ultimate combo of the best hardware and now it is the ultimate tribute to 1999's 3D cards. I'd build a case for it!

I bought a second hand "Ultimate Truecolor/XL2" for $15 or something. They're pretty solid cards, but not worth the money. I was really surprised that ET4000W32i on ISA isn't the screamer I thought it would be. I'm convinced my Mach64 VRAM is faster in DOS...the RAMDAC is one hell of a lot better too.

I 🤣'd when I saw the tiny AGP bus at the bottom, and realised how big that thing is. Do it!
