I read an article last month about "AQuest" (not sure of capitalization)
which was recently formed by several of the designers of the Intel i860.
They are working on a graphics adapter based on the i860, presumably with
full 24-bit color capability.  Does anyone know the status of their product?
The article mentioned that they wanted to make the product affordable,
so maybe it will be less than $300 like the NeXTdimension board (edu/dev  
price).  I don't even know where AQuest is located -- Texas, probably.
