IBM does not sell the PGA anymore.

There ought to be drivers for AutoCAD, CADKEY, and other such CAD packages 
about.  I believe Grafpoint had a driver for their TGRAF package that
talked to PGA.  If you dig about you'd probably dig up with quite a few.

As for MS-Windows and X, I don't think board could properly support either
of the two reasonably. 

Disclaimer:   I have worked on drivers for Matrox's PGA compatible boards.
