Very Computer

I am wondering if the Weitek P9100 server is planned at all?  In other
words, is anyone already working on it?  I know that a commercial copy is
available, but it's not worth $199 to me (which is what the Hardware-HOWTO
lists it at).  Just wondering whether it's worth waiting, or if I should
just switch cards now.  Incidentally, does any of the unaccelerated
servers work for this chipset?

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

No.

Sadly, I would switch the card.

   servers work for this chipset?

I remember I got 3200x200x4 to "sorta-work".  Not that the monitor
liked it, though.

I am running a Diamond Viper P9100 right now, it is supported by Xinside's
Accelerated X, (and by Metro X also I believe), these can be had for
$99 (Metro is included in the RedHat version 3.0.3 "Picasso" $49, and
Xinside in the Caldera set $99)
