I recall seing a picture of it long ago in someones online album. It was a
separate 19 inch box a few RUs high with at least one pcb and a jumble of
wires :) Obviously in some sort of development stage and I'm not sure it
was working at that point.
I think it might even be the compaq rackbox shown here:

Of course this is just speculation :)

OK, thanks!

I'm still curious about what it was: was it a stand-alone board with a
separate power supply, or did it plug into some sort of backplane? Did it use
something like SD cards for storage? And what was the MASSBUS connection
like: a set of 3 Berg headers into which one plugged the flat cables, or was
there some oddball connector that wound up connected to a standard MASSBUS
connector?
