Well last night I had a crazy thought that I put into action today, connecting a VGA card to a 8514/A and that to a MPEG card.
So I have connected a generic 1MB ET4000 via the feature connector to an ATI 8514/A Ultra, then in turn connected that via Passthrough to a RealMagic Maxima, so could have both better Windows 3.1 performance and MPEG on a 386 class machine.
Now initially I thought it did not work, and to save a long story of swapping cards and my Diamond SpeedStar 64 dying, in the end got it working, so have three video cards chained.
Now the question is, has anyone else done something similar?
