Knbowing that AHT aquired the Prometheus technology I assume it will be some kind of singleslot Prometheus with a bog standard VooDoo3 attached. But who knows maybe they`ll put the (Prometheus) PCI bridge directly on a new board with a small batch of Avenger Chips they found somewhere, though I strongly doubt that the cost per card would then be below 500 EUR, let alone the mentioned 150 EUR.

How should that be possible. It is the same technik used in Mediator and Prometheus (PCI->Zorro adaption) and it is the Zorrobus that limits the transferrate.
In theory only the G-Rex approach should be able to deliver better transferrates, but hey bottched the job somewhere along the way.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.

I don`t know about AHT, but Michael Böhmer is still working on the card. He is currently doing his exams, so it runs at a low priority for the time being.
