I believe the board you're looking from Evans and Sutherland, yes the one and
the same company that produces proprietary Image Generators for simulation. I
believe the board is called the FREEDOM Board. Real-Time performance

FEATURES:
Real time rendering, Full speed antialiasing, Fast set-up calculations
