So far I count...
ACK PPC
Coldfusion Project
Elbox Dragon
and now this one.
That's 4, but I wouldn't necessarily call
Elbox and ACK 'garage projects'

Did I miss any others?

I hope they all succeed to built those cards. Then we have more choices to buy one of those cards.

@Prmetime

Here's the original announcement:

Question is what happened with this project as they was supposed to be launched Q1 2005. My guess is that this project will never make it...
