It's actually based on the ATI Rage Pro chip, but supposedly the Plan9
MACH64 driver supports it. I'll soon find out, as I am in the process
of downgrading from an ATI Xpert 128 (which doesn't appear to be MACH64
compatible) to the Xpert 98 specifically to support Plan9.
One can often find "legacy" video cards and sound cards (almost no
current sound card seems to be ISA SoundBlaster-16 compatible) at
weekend "computer shows" (e.g. the ones MarketPro sponsors). Stock
up on supported hardware while you can!

Consider temporarily installing a supported graphics card, then once
the software is installed and running, change back to the old one.
