Is that early devkit running as a card to plug on the PC motherboard any rare? I forgot the name/reference. I think it's just the video/PowerVR part of the Dreamcast in prototype form.
Any use for it?
Someone I know has dozen of them, he said he'd give one to me.

This was the NEC ARC1A PowerVR Dreamcast Development Prototype PCI Board, which is known to only run under a Windows 98 environment with the Sega Katana Development Software (Release 2). It was also used to run the Scud Race demo.

I think Antipasta posted a picture of a PCI card with two very large chips on it. that's probably what Mark just mentioned.
