I don't believe this product is the same as what you heard about.  This
new product (described in the press release Dave Taylor posted) uses an
accelerated graphics card.  The one you heard about, I believe, was a more
conventional implementation using the normal (slow) PC display cards.
I do not have any information on that original version.
