Anyone from the group picked this one up?

Still not sure of the header for the daughter card. 3D Nth Engines can
us a T800 for shading, the T414 is drawing.
Nth Graphics Zooms
Users of the IBM PS/2 Model 50, 60, 70, and 80 can zoom large drawings produced with PC-based CAD design software, including AutoCAD Release 9
and 10, VersaCAD, DataCAD, RoboCAD 4, HICAD GM-1000, and Infinite
Graphics drawings, in about two seconds with the Nth Engine/MCA display controller from Nth Graphics (Austin, TX).
The Nth Engine/MCA achieves its speed through a unique design that
combines the graphics processing power of the T414 Transputer with
multiple custom graphics chips and holds a compressed copy of the
drawing’s vector display list locally in 1M of onboard display list RAM.
The Nth Engine/MCA has the same capability as the original Nth Engine
display controller, including the Nth Birdseye, a pop-up window that
shows the entire drawing with the zoom-in area highlighted, instant
color on/off, and Zoomslides.
Priced at $4295, the 16-color graphics board drives monitors with
1024by-768 resolution. It can also be used with either one or two
monitors to display the drawing and text simultaneously or separately. Another megabyte of display-list RAM can be added for a total of 2M. And
a daughter board can be added to increase the display-list RAM up to 4.5M.
