[ydl-gen] Driver and YDL compatibility

[Richardson, Jeremiah A.]

I am trying to synchronize a set of four computers.  I am using a PCI
timecard that only has a 32-bit driver and was the only card that could
satisfy my timing requirements.  I am using a PowerMac G5 currently as
the display for the system.  The other machines in the network are G5
Xserve's.  I have got the Xserve's synchronized to within my
requirements but the PowerMac requires me to install YDL 4.0.91 or
higher which is a 64-bit OS.  Obviously, the driver isn't going to work
on this OS without a good deal of modification and I would rather not
have to rewrite the driver.  The Xserve's have YDL 4.0.0 (32-bit) on
them so if I was able to get a dual-output graphics card to work with
YDL 4.0.0 on the Xserve's that would solve my problem as I would just
use four Xserve's and forget about the PowerMac.  So my question is
whether there is any dual-output graphics card that can be used in the
Xserve's and be supported by YDL 4.0.0?  Or is there some way to get a
32-bit YDL on my PowerMac G5?

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
