The only mention I've ever seen anywhere of a Jaguar Blaster card is here:
http://justclaws.atari.org/altatari/dxnews.htm

Read some of the other items, and you'll soon get the idea that the 
stories aren't exactly true.

Actually, there was a Jaguar-on-a-PCI-card project called JagPC that was 
at least announced by Sigma Designs.  I don't think a prototype ever 
existed, but I could be wrong.  Jaguars were pretty good 2D pixel-pushers, 
and would have made a respectable graphics card for the time period.
