Anyone here ever seen or heard of the Total Power MP boards from Total Impact?  I snagged two for next to nothing, stocked w/ 4 500MHz G4's...

They're bizarre Quad G3/G4 PCI boards with simm slots on the card.  Supposedly, the board RAM gets mapped into the host address space, then programs can be run on them by loading them into the board ram and transferring execution to the CPU's on board...

Pretty nifty, but they require special software.  Unfortunately, Total Impact is out of business, and scrounging up the software/docs has been tough.

If anyone here has any info, mind sharing??  I think they'd be pretty interesting to get running under Mac OS X...

I´ve once seen one of those machines, but it´s very long ago and I can´t remember who took this one to the CeBIT (I guess it was the CeBIT but not sure of it). Sorry that I can´t tell more about it :(
