Thanks! I added them to the zorro-utils database.
07ea
fc00 AteoBus Expansion Bus
fe00 Pixel64 Graphics Board
ff00 Pixel64 Graphics Board (RAM)
102f Ateo Concepts
fc00 AteoBus
fe00 Pixel64 Graphics Board
ff00 Pixel64 Graphics Board (RAM)
I assume the product IDs will stay the same when they switch to their own
vendor ID?

There's already a driver for various CL-GD542x/543x based Amiga graphics board,
written by Frank Neumann: clgen. Adding support for the Pixel64 can't be that
difficult. Then you can use the board under Linux/m68k (and Linux/PPC on APUS),
for both the console (8/16/24/32 bpp) and X (8/16/32 bpp, unaccelerated at the
moment).
You already seem to have a good relationship with Ateo Concepts. Can you get
access to more information about the Pixel64 (e.g. a complete memory map)?
Zorro IDs and other specs about their other AteoBus boards (Ethernet!) are
always welcome, too.
Greetings,
Geert
P.S. I found them on the web at http://www.ateo-concepts.com/.

Is the ateo bus not plugged in the expansion slot, in place of the accelerator board?
does a BPPC fit in it ? are they not power problems ?

According to the website:
| Can I plug the AteoBus and my accelerator together?
| Yes, the AteoBus plug on the A1200 CPU slot but allow you to keep your
| accelerator board.
