I think that's just in the earlier prototypes. What you have is probably
like this:

Yes, that's identical to the one inside my box. On the back
of the flash SIMM there's a sticker labled 'LC 475 GM' and 'Apple
Computer (c) 1994'. Do you know if the later machines still retained
the interesting chips such as the Xilinx XC4010-4 and C-Cube MPEG
decoder?
I'd be very curious if anybody's managed to get
one of these to boot.
I've never gotten mine to do anything either. I did see a
site one time that claimed to have actually gotten a display from
theirs though.
