I'll second the ATI Rage 128 option. I also have the IXMicro Twin Turbo, but I have some dual monitor issues with it not fully be compatible with keeping the correct resolution. I have the 4mb version and I even switched the J4 jumper on it just to keep the green screen from popping up!
The drivers though ARE working under 9.2.2. Thanks to the person who mentioned the "OS 9 Helper" program the other day. I googled the program name and found it at: http: //www.os9forever.com >From there I installed the os 9.2.x versions. I'm glad I did. The response time with the contextual menus has always been SLOW. Now they pop up quick! Also installed the new ATI drivers and really like the improved software interface. The TwinTurbo DOES have a 120mz screen refresh on one or two of the resolutions, but I can never get it to keep it after a couple of restarts...I have been using SwitchRes2 to help me wrangle these resolution under control. I like it a lot and recommend it. Check it here: http://www.madrau.com/ Checked out the old supermac ftp site.
