Oh yes, I didn't mean to imply the Freedom was the only beefy 3D card
for it. I know IBM had their own 3D pipe around that time (1992) that
they had for it. However, since I worked on the Freedom, its kinda
dear to me :-).
Speaking of Freedoms, if anyone comes across host interface cards or
host software for Freedom accelerators, no matter what the host bus --
HP, Sun, IBM -- please let me know! I've got some accelerators here,
but no host adapters or software.

That's not the only one. There were the POWER GXT series. Some of the
3D ones had quite a bit of speed. Personally all the ones I've seen with a
graphics display, had pretty
poor 8-bit graphics. But then the Sun's of that era tended to be
8-bit as well.
Well, you could get an E&S Freedom accelerator for it :-) [...]
