It does work, and 100 times better/faster than the cybervision64/3D
but the intro does not work because it uses the 3D chip which I need
the driver for (I think). When playing the intro all that happens is I
hear the sound and my monitor get no signal.

I've only had it up and runing for a few hours so not totally
sure about every thing, though it seems to be really fast updating
windows and displaying JPEGs. But there is a bug in the
cybergraphics software, Unless you mess about with the 'CGXmode' the
highest screemode you can goto is 16Bit 800x600.
