pcidevs has this line for IGS:
vendor INTERGRAPHICS 0x10ea Integraphics Systems
note that the identifier is spelled with 'r', but the string is
spelled without the 'r' - which seems confusing.
The Tvia FAQ says
http://support.software911.com/tvia/searchdetails.asp?pno=1
"Tvia formerly known as IGS Technologies / Integraphics Systems Inc."
I.e. their own "official" spelling is without 'r'.
Is there any reason the identifier is spelled as INTERGRAPHICS with
'r'? Some backward compatibility?
Google search shows a lot of documents that use one spelling or the
other (sometimes even within one document both names are encountered).
SY, Uwe
