It appears that this VoodooI-based 3D accelerator module for the Picasso IV boards will be released after all. Blittersoft write: "We have this week received news with confirmation of the ParaGlide project. We have been urged to keep pre-orders open so if you wish to secure your unit on release, be sure to pre-order now!"

In reply to Comment 2 (Christian Munk):
No Voodoo is only good? for games as it requires its own screen so for example using it to render 3d stuff is not really efficient as you would be swapping screens all the time from your modeller to your renderer.
Anything other than games would be fairly hacky as it doesn't have a 2d core and is designed only for 3d acceleration. You need to have a 2D card for passthrough.
I don't doubt that some enterprising individual will find some other uses for this rig but it will be a hacked one.
