Hmm...  Oh geez, you're right...  I was thinking of the Emplant card.  I've 
got a 286 Bridgeboard here myself.  The Emplant would take ROMs from several 
sources and offered special serial ports (for Mac emulations as I recall, 
been a while).  Not sure what other hardware it had on it, but I don't recall 
any actual processor living on it.
