Take a look at www.ebay.com...they often have a number of them at auction
that are compatible.  You might want to ask here if the card you're
looking at works under the latest SLOTMAN kernels or not, tho (or under
the colorkit LKM).

You'll either need a SLOTMAN kernel or else you'll need to grab a copy of
the colorkit LKM off of Puma.  I think that both of these options are
mentioned in the X11 section of the FAQ.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
