I don't know about other cards, but it is surely worth
trying-before-you-buy for these CF Video out cards.

I tried one for the Ipaq and it's about good for photo displays or
powerpoint and that's IT.  Frame rate was, oh, 0.5 fps or so.  It was
seriously, awfully, slow.  Totally unusable for any regular application.

Also, text was unreadable on an M1/Kopin 320M unless you had the display
in landscape mode (ie bent the display 90 degrees to see it in landscape).
Otherwise the scaling made text unreadable if it was 240 across instead of
320 across.  Again, making it totally unusable for using any kind of
regular application.
