Don't recongize that one but suns use the following cards to my knowledge.

For sbus:

Creator/Creator3D
CGsix (GX, TurboGX)
BWtwo 
CGthree
TCX (SS4/SS5)

and low end pci bus sparcs can use any pci card but mostly use ATI Mach64.
The cost of these cards are around $4000. Yes that right. No extra zeros.
There is a comnmpany that sells. I found it when looking for docs on sbus
video cards.

I have been tempted to ask SUN for docs on its video hardware. Do you
think they go fot it?
