As some of you may know, the ATi VGA1024 was kind of an OEM stripped down version of the VGAWonder. Well, I had always heard that a VLB version existed, but I was never able to find any photos or literature other than a mention of being supported under Linux. Well, one finally popped up on ebay, and it wasn't what I was expecting:

It's actually based on the Mach32 rather than the old VGA wonder chip. I am rather confused as to why this exists at all, because this card is quite similar to the ATi Graphics Wonder, which is also a low end Mach32 card. This must have been the last card to sell under the VGA1024 badge. It's not very interesting card to use, but if you collect ATi cards I think this one is pretty rare.
