Hi, all. Good news!

nVidia recently released programming info for its NV\d+ products, like
the Riva TNT, TNT2, 128, &c.

URL: https://www.nvidia.com/nv/nvarch.nsf/

I heard about them as leader of the REP ( http://web.chad.org/dev/riva-tnt )
but since I don't have enough guts or time to undertake making a good FBCON
implementation for the NV architecture, I thought I'd pass it along.

I am /really/ interested in the progress of any attempt, so to anyone who
bothers to take a whack, I'd like to hear the sound. I'm most interested
in whether the info is sufficient for real use, but I'd like to stir some
code, too.

- chad
