Look, if it's the x86 accelerator it isn't even news. I've heard of it before. It could also be ppc, there must be some prototypes for cards that never reached the market (amijoe, anyone?)

But it certainly smegging ISN'T an intel ppc card. I know NT4 works for ppc, I have an RS/6k workstation here that used to run it, but that kinda doesn't change the fact that intel and powerpc in the same sentence does NOT compute. Sorry.


Red dwarf overdose?  :-P

And yes, Intel have never bought a licence to make PPC compatible chips, they simply don't need too.

My guess is that Intel chip is probably just a SCSI controler or Flash Rom or something similar. What was the model number?

Ha!! Light weight  :-)

5 years ago I watched Series 1 to 5, continously, non stop (Something like 30 episodes). From Friday evening to some time around Saturday afternoon/evening. I don't remember as I was so shattered   :-D
