I have driven the 6200 with a 173-series driver, probably earlier too,
considering that I set this system up 3+ years ago.  If it's Plan C, I
need to get there fairly soon.  NTSC hardware is drying up.

As I said, I've run Radeon hardware into this TV successfully, though it
was a much older Radeon.
