A general question here: for PCI cards that can be flashed for different systems, should we split them into clone devices where each one has the BIOS options for a specific architecture? In this case, PERMEDIA2_PC and PERMEDIA2_SPARC?

Not suggesting anything specific about this PR here, it's just something that came to mind when I saw this.

Well, these BIOSes shouldn't be in devices/video, but rather be a PCI option that mounts a ROM (and derive from pc_vga.h if the specific VGA family is not yet done, like in this case). Other than that, the two things should be subclassed to accomodate endianness at very least.

By cursory glance at the HW reference manual, these are also AGP, not PCI

Isn't this a PCI card?

Well, do you have device ID/vendor ID for this? I can't find anything from the PCI databases ...

No, sorry, and I don't have a PCI computer to plug it on.

Open the dump with a binary viewer, find a PCIR string inside. What comes next tells us the exact device/vendor ID for this.

For example, the Permedia 2 Fire GL 1000 PRO will have:

The first number is device ID=104c,Texas Instruments, the second is vendor ID=3d07 Permedia 2, which translates into this entry: https://admin.pci-ids.ucw.cz/read/PC/104c/3d07

Same as your example, Device ID=104C, Vendor ID=3D07

Doesn't make any sense, that will decode as a Permedia 2 card ...

The actual BIOS is a 108e/2bad, which classifies as a Sun GEM card.
