I lugged the thing home and found somebody that worked on them who diagnosed the problem as a bad geometry engine. I found a guy in Germany who shipped me the entire board set out of one. I ran it for a while, it was slow, but the graphics were pretty nice. I played around with their flight sim demo. Eventually, that geometry engine quit, too. I had enough parts I could have probably fixed it, until the next time it crapped out. I sold all the boards to a broker.
