Awesome work! I wish I could see more but I don't "Facebook" ?

Not too many details over there either.  Joe Torre is commenting on it, however!  :)

Building new hardware is the "easy" part, but unless they can make it software-compatible with P96 or CGX, what's the point?

Meh, if and when it comes out I'll probably buy one, but in the meantime it's probably vapor, just like the UltimatePPC.  And those guys actually produced some hardware.  :(

wouldn't you be able to bypass the Zorro 2 (& 8mb) bottleneck with some kind of genius FPGA CPU + GFX card in the CPU slot?

Or you could do it like how the G-Rex did it. ;)
