Removed installer procedures for the Inferno card as the card

based on the well-supported Cirrus chips, but information on the
card is missing.
It's interesting that a prototype of DKB's Inferno card did/does(?) exist--see link below to an old post from the legendary Skipper Smith talking about his Wildfire--but both the Amiga Hardware Database and The Big Book of Amiga Hardware ambiguously list CyberGraphX drivers (v3 and v4) for it. Obviously those drivers were planned, rather than actually written:

I like the one I have in my A2000, though it is currently not in
operation right now. I would not encourage you to consider getting one,
because you won't find much support for them and the pseudo-PCI slot that
it has never gotten used for anything- the promised Inferno video card
never got beyond the prototype stage (I have one of the prototypes, but it
is non-functional. I keep meaning to give it back to Dean).

FWIW, if an actual Inferno card does exist, there is at least one owner with a DKB Wildfire card that it could be connected to--Retro Hack Shack:
