Most of these stem from the old XF86_W32 server. That code was used extensively for getting the SVGA server to work on all the Tseng cards, so they are still somewhat valid.

Glenn G. Lai wrote the original XF86_W32 server. It was modified by Dirk Hohndel and Koen Gadeyne to support some more hardware.

Jerry J. Shekhel (jerry@msi.com) gave me (GGL) the 1-M Mirage ET4000/W32 VLB board on which the initial development (X_W32) was done.

X11R6 and The XFree86 Project provide the base code for XF86_W32.

Hercules Computer Technology Inc. lent me (GGL) a 2-M Hercules Dynamite Pro VLB board for the development that led to XF86_W32. They donated a Dynamite Power PCI to The XFree86 Project, that was used by DHH to extend the server.

Tseng Labs kindly donated (KMG) an ET6000-based board (a Jazz Multimedia G-Force 128), which spurred the development of the ET6000 code. They also provided an ET6100 evaluation board.

Heiko Eissfeldt provided an ET4000W32p_rev_b board which allowed us to get better support for those rev_a and rev_b boards.

Gyorgy Krajcsovits donated an ET4000W32p + CH8398 board. A Really Good Move!

Numerous testers have given me feedback for X_W32 and later XF86_W32. I apologize for my failure to keep track of the people who tested X_W32, but the names of the people involved with the XF86_W32 testing are listed below:
