3D News, GL, DirectX With the Open Graphics Project advancing slowly a few students picked up the idea to do it all smaller, faster, and more importantly, cheaper. From the site: "We'd love to have an OGD1 card and are amazed by it's specifications, but for us and a lot of people, this card is simply too much. So that's where this card comes in, to give you all the fun of developing on programmable hardware, designing video cards and architectures, for a price that won't hurt your wallet."

I'm definitely not experienced, and the Eagle Autorouter only got up till 54% of the design, after which everything was such a mess that I couldn't properly work around it anymore. That's why I'm manually doing it.

Also, the goal of this project isn't to compete with anything, we just want to get something /working/. After we've gained experience with this (and helped more people getting their hands on a usable platform) and support VGA, we're going for driver development and 2D basics. After that, well, hopefully we can merge with OGP and go for the bigger stuff.

Again, we don't want to compete, we want to get stuff rolling faster.

I don't want you to get it wrong; I think your project is fantastic. I just don't think it should be billed incorrectly as something that it's not (not by you, but by others).
