	It'll have a large "Bt" printed on it :) My Quadra at home is
based on Sebastian which is also a Bt chip, and all the FB's for my DEC
MIPS boxen except one have Bt 135K RAMDAC's. What I'm thinking is that
Valkrye was Apple's attempt at a "Smart" Frame Buffer design to accelerate
2D graphics. This is just out of my own curiosity, maybe once I read a few
more chapters in my C/C++ book and pick up some assembly I can work on
some video drivers :)
