You have such a legendary beast?

>From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ardent :

"Ardent was a graphics minicomputer manufacturing company, one of a very
few 3rd parties to base their designs on the MIPS CPU's and the
associated MIPS OS, using additional Intel i860's as graphics
co-processors. The company went through a series of mergers and
re-organizations and changed names several times as their venture
capital funders attempted to find a market niche for their "graphics
supercomputers". After a series of machines that were not particularly
successful in the marketplace, they used parts of their design to create
graphics subsystems for other workstations, notably DEC machines, but
eventually shut down completely in February 1995."
