That's the Met@box card. Escena still have all the Brainstormer info on their
website.

AB> certainly no mention of PCI BUS, USB, AGP, ATX formfactor etc

PCI was, certainly. Everything else is fairly simplistic to add to PCI.

Anyway, I'm not saying they're the same thing, but the Escena site makes it
quite clear that one is based on the other.
