Brainstormer?

IIRC the escena was supposed to live around all by itself on the zorro bus,
as some advanced coprocessor card? Sounds even more like a computer in the
computer than the P5 cards, might just as well get a PCI busboard and
some PCI based oneboard ppc computer from motorola. Or what?

Really.. wouldnt it be alot simpler for all of us if we just dropped all
these non-standard solutions and went for a PoP-box?
