We don't need to with nVidia, we can run their VGA BIOS using testbios.
Though in the perfect world, they'd be more forthcoming with specs so that someone can make an LB port for their nForce boards.

Really nice news... i'll keep dreaming that nvidia will do the same.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I can never understand hardware manufacturers being cagey about their specs. I would have thought it would save them a lot of hassle if they *didn't* have to write drivers themselves. If they made the information available with suggestions and worked examples, the software industry would do it all for them.
To forestall one argument, I really don't see anyone being able to reverse engineer the *hardware* from the overall specs.
