The Graphics Ultra Pro uses ATI's Mach 32 chipset. I have the ISA version, so it's not the speediest, but it's not bad. The DOS drivers can be found at http://www.atitech.ca/drivers/drivers.html. Get the file called M32UTL.ZIP for ATI's excellent configuration utilities.

What do the jumpers/switches do?
The jumpers are for future expansion purposes and are not currently used. These would allow the ability to enable IRQ usage by the card.

There is a bank of switches on the top...
The DIP switches are used to disable the built in VGA on the card if it is to be used in a dual adapter installation with another VGA card. When using the card by itself these DIP switches should all be in the off position (away from the card).
Note: My card came from an old docking station which used dual VGA cards and the switches were set for xxxxx

Does it do cursor acceleration/animation?
Animated cursors require the presence of a linear frame buffer. This would mean that the memory aperture on the card must be enabled. On ISA card this would be disabled by default. Additionally, the aperture would need to be disabled if you have more that 12M of memory in your system.
