I've had the chance to try a couple of things with my AS500/500, which
IIRC is running the latest SRM (7.2?). Neither an ATI Rage 128 nor a
3DFx Voodoo Banshee (precursor to Voodoo3 cards) would successfully
complete BIOS emulation, resulting in black screen. So, I'm not real
surprised that the latest SRM will not run a Voodoo3 3000... :-\
Best card I have that DOES run in there is a 3DLabs PCI VX1 with
32MB of memory.
Good luck.
