More importantly, he says he has also ported an Nvidia graphics accelerator from BeOS to harness the GeForce2 video card in the Iyonix to plot graphics fast in hardware.

They do? With Hardware accelerated 3D graphics? I have never heard of any. Could you supply a URL to one that is not the BeOS/RISC one under development please?
