Well. I don't know how many Gfx9000 were sold. From Video9000 there are 21
made and from that 16 sold (I have both a Gfx9000 and Video9000 seperately,
so that's at least 17. How many more are sold, I don't know.

WiOS stands for Windows Operating System. I'll shoot some digi's of WiOS
screen and mail it to Peter (or he can do some as well) and to you both.
Then Peter can have it put on the Home Page, because it should be good to
see what you're using then.
When I'm done with my routines, I'll release it as Public Domain or
Freeware to increase development of software for Gfx9000.
There are some demo's, applications and games for Gfx9000. I agree with you
there are not that many yet, but we are all working on it.
