My machine at work uses a #9 card with a 86C764 (``trio'') chip, it
works all the day quite well, in 16 bpp mode.

I've got a Mach64 running today, however it required tweaking of the
sio driver (taking over a patch from -current to prevent it stomping
on the 0x2e8 register), and the most recent Beta X-Server from XFree86
(3.1.2B).  After this, it worked fairly well though.
