This does exist actually. Sun did it. I have one
sitting here at work but I've never used it. It's got
an AMD chip (K-6II I think) and 1 dimm slot. It's got
a scsi interface to connect to a disk too. I'm not
sure what else, I'd have to find it... If this worked
under NetBSD or some other OS I'd like to use, that
would be cool. I've never looked into it...
