I've found a graphics card that has a Western Digital WD90c30 chip on it.
(Western Digital also makes Paradise and Verticom video cards)

What's the skinny on this chip?  Is it accelerated?  I believe that it has
some support for 1280x1024 interlaced, and high color in some modes, but both
require the Sierra RAMDAC.

Mostly, I want to know if it has accelerator functions, or if it is merely
dump, but high-res, SVGA.
