That's crazy. Did you notice that it's a SCSI device? It also looks like it doesn't actually do solids. Of course, true 3D would require ridiculous amounts of RAM (this thing only has 3Gbits of RAM)...

768x768x198, looks like it shouldn't be too great a stretch to put Quake![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
on it 'cause the interface is OpenGL, although quake probably does a lot of pre-render geometry culling that'd cause issues in a true 3d display.
But it reminds me a lot of something Texas Instruments had running back in the 1980s...
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
