I'm not positive about the double slot bit, but otherwise, it sounds
kinda like some image processing boards we had at school (used once upon
a time for machine vision).

There also was a SIMD board for the Sun3s.  I can't remeber the name any
more.  It worked as an overlay board because the manufactors didn't want
the expense of porting X11 to it.  Darn it, what is it called.

Ahh, the TAAC.  And reports on web pages confirm that it consists of two
VME slots, and it does have RGB in and out to my understanding.
