'arbitrary code' as in 'whatever you can express in PostScript and  
which fits into the onboard RAM' I guess.

I also got another funky board - a /HighWater Designs XLport  
Interface' or SUNW,xlportif. First I thought it's a high speed serial  
interface but it appears to be some sort of proprietary scanner  
interface, HighWater Designs still exists and they still make PCI[e|- 
X] boards.

Finally, I also got a SunPC card which doesn't seem to contain much  
more than an i486 and some glue logic.

have fun
Michael
