PCem's WIP can do an unstable emulation of the Matrox Mystique which can use MSI (was once planned for v17). There's also S3 ViRGE 325 and DX emulated that can handle S3D Toolkit - but this is low level video card emulation, not necessarily API emulation. Given the lack of capabilties on both (no blending functions, one doesn't have filtering) it shouldn't be too daunting to have software renderers written of the MSI and S3D APIs.....in theory. They're not as exotic as RRedline/Speedy3D and SGL are.

Was there anything proprietary for the 3Dlabs GLINT/Permedia or the WD Paradise cards? I never saw them in use really...
