No traditional 16bit firmware but uses ARC style firmware similar to the old mips NT boxes and modern alpha boxes. All input peripherals are USB I think. I got most of this from reading some notes on how to get Linux running on the beast but unfortunately I don't have a link handy. I was following links from Slashdot at the time. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Nonlinear Systems Ltd.
