CL hasn't released any boards based on the Verite chip, not even to 
developers. What most developers are doing today to support the chip is 
writing their programs to support CL's 3D library which currently runs on 
their VL-bus 3D card using (I believe) the Glint chip and for which CL is 
making their new card compatible. So anything written for their old card 
should work on their new card, if you don't believe me ask someone there. #9 
are farther along with their product but I haven't asked too many questions 
about it so I don't know all that much about it. Just because all the boards 
use the same chip doesn't mean that they are all directly compatible (although 
it would be nice if they were). Different ways of implementing the chip on the 
board can cause new drivers to be needed.
