I'm forwarding an article from comp.os.sysv386 with some interesting data
on Trident 8900 cards for anyone interested in writing a device driver for
that card.

Hi Jason,
Trident was kind enough to provide me with a complete technical reference for
their 8900 chip when I asked for one last year. It costs a whopping $8 bucks.
The manual will provide you with everything you need to write a driver for the
8900 chip along with 80x86 assembler examples to get you started.
They're BBS number was (415) 691-1016 when I last checked.
Hope this helps.
