None right now, but I have lots of old graphics card, could take a couple shots of them booting with a photo camera if that's what you're looking for.
I'm not sure if it's possible to take direct screenshots of those banners.
Perhaps it's possible to extract those images directly from those VGA cards using somekind of BIOS editor tool??

Do you have an example of what you're looking for perhaps?

8514/A is no vga-card and has no bios, so there is no extra output on bootup.

I wanted to do sometime some start screens videos and photos, cause some old card have nice animated efects like a scrolling text, colored logos and one ati rage have even rotating ati logo at startup 😀 But been too lazy to make shots when i was testing cards (and mine testing monitor screen is full of scrathes, with bad light you'll probadly seen nothing).

I still wish emulating various BIOSes were possible, just for the novelty of preserving BIOS setups and things like that.

Dunno what's so special about these
