I've just posted a YT vid showing how to make a monitor switch cable and installing the software so it's automatic:

Will PCI PPC-cards fit physically in the Firebird slot? If someone should program support for these cards for the Prometheus/Firebirds.

Three things need to happen for that someone.
1) A rewrite of the PowerPC.library.
2) A modification to the prometheus library.
3) Hardware to develop on.
Ah I see. So, are you saying the zorro slots are aligned slightly different on the firebird DB then on a standard A3000 DB? Or wouldn't this zorro card fit in a plain A3000 either?
I have a cv64 in mine and it fits just fine.
Overall very happy with the system, sadly not using a single PCI card yet.
Mine has CV64, Ariandne, Prelude, Drawing pad interface card.
The only issue I had was getting the accelerator to run reliable. The screw holes to mount the cpu cards are very slight off and you can't actually screw them down (at least on mine) tried multiple cpu cards all had same issue. I was able to get one mount to screw down by playing with the MB mounting in the case. Now it runs reliable. No issues.
I am currently working on the A4000D PCI daughterboard.
