Well, it's a Pica motherboard allright, and it has the Acer Pica memory 
controller, and supporting chips.  Worse yet, it has that ISA NCR 53c94 
based SCSI controller and onboard Sonic ethernet :-(

The Magnum was a much nicer machine that had EISA slot's... I wouldn't doubt
that they are similar, but I would be really suprised if the Magnum uses
the "Acer Pica 64bit memory architecture" (anyone else remeber that).

This is a plus...
