That's not the only one. There were the POWER GXT series. Some of the
3D ones had quite a bit of speed.
Peace... Sridhar
Personally all the ones I've seen with a
graphics display, had pretty
poor 8-bit graphics. But then the Sun's of that era tended to be
8-bit as well.
Well, you could get an E&S Freedom accelerator for it :-), which was a
pretty good piece of graphics iron. (You could also get a Freedom for
Sun or HP; E&S gave up making their own platform after the MIPS based
ESV and their next workstation product was an accelerator for other
people's platform, with only the host interface and software changing
between platforms.
The Freedom had something like 128 bitplanes, hardware texture and
so-on.
