Give me a while to collect what I have together.
My memory was fuzzy, BLT was a part of "Tesseract", PPC follow-on to
"Hurricane" 88110.
Tesseract became "TNT" ("The New Tesseract" aka the 9500) when Steve
Manzer ordered the
group to use PCI instead of BLT because PCI already had an installed base of 3rd party
cards.
I ul'ed a picture of the Tesseract protype to bitsavers under
apple/powerpc/Prototypes.
Mirrors should have it in about an hour.
I should have the Hurricane proto board somewhere along with Nubus 88100 and IBM RSC
CPU development boards (like
