?Intergraph RealiZm?

Greetings!
I've buyed a very nice old graphic workstation from Intergraph on ebay:

It has a Pentium Pro processor and a 3D accelerator called "Intergraph RealiZm" from 1996. It has 2*VGA and the possibility to add a TnL module. (There is a module on my card)

I've found this quote on the Internet:
"At this time (March '97), the only standard OpenGL hardware that can play GLQuake reasonably is an Intergraph RealiZm, which is a VERY expensive card. 3Dlabs has been improving their performance significantly, but with the available drivers it still isn't good enough to play. Some of the current 3Dlabs drivers for Glint and Permedia boards can also crash NT when exiting from a full screen run, so I don't recommend running GLQuake on 3Dlabs hardware."

Does anybody know something about this card?

I've hab a closer look at the Manual:

Your picture shows the Z10 Card; my card has to be a Z13 (like on page 22, because of the memory sockets).

Also the module is the 2D card (see page 48), because the Z13 has a onboard texturing accelator and the TnL unit would be a second PCI Card.

Very interesting: The card has only one VGA out; the second one can be used for a better 2D card via loop-cable!

You can also connect 2 of this cards with a "Vertex Data Bus"!

Very voodoo-like! :D
