It was built by a company that no longer > exists, IIRC, but I don't remember its name. It's the ALR Revolution 6x6 board.

Nowadays a single-core processor is probably much faster and consumes a fraction of the power. Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co. KG, Marktplatz 29, 85567 Grafing b. M.
