Apple did use Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) cards starting with most models of the original G4 tower in 1999, but even those cards had some differences from standard.
The Voodoo 2 was also still only a 3D accelerator, meaning you also needed a dedicated 2D graphics card, which you'd connect to the Voodoo 2 with a VGA loop-back cable round the back.
Likewise, an AGP graphics card will boot into DOS, but there's no advantage to using one over a PCI card, as there will be no DOS 3D drivers.
Now the developer behind the BOOK 8088 has started selling a new version that brings a few upgrades including a VGA graphics card and serial and parallel ports.
Since it was a 1999 AIB, it used the AGP 4X interface with sustained DMA, and supported the Direct3D 7.0 API and OpenGL 1.2.1 with transform & lighting. Figure 2: Nvidia GeForce 256 (NV10).
