There's a machine I somehow missed "back in the day."  The SPARCstation
LX was the first SPARC system I owned, and I miss it dearly.  I'd always
wondered why Sun decided to mount the rear connectors on that
paddle-board.

The Britelite-LX's advertising brochure explains it!  I had no idea the
main logic board was available as an embeddable product under the name
"SPARCengine LX."  I wonder where else it showed up.  There can't have
been too many applications where a 50MHz microSPARC was enough to get
the job done, but power draw of the GX accelerator would've been
acceptable overhead.  Even Sun's SPARCstorage Array used a different
controller board (although with a 50MHz microSPARC).
