Having seen that Powerlogix designed a whole iMac system board from scratch, another possiblity just came to my mind...

Would it be possible that Powerlogix invented a G4 add-on card for PCs? It would be the "evil-twin" of the Orange PC card, but run on the AGP port of a PC.

Well, using the AGP slot means you would have to use a PCI graphics card. Also, it would be better if Orange Micro just came out with an Athlon card for G4s.

Orange Micro makes K6-2/600 daughtercards and sells them for $1000. What would an Athlon cost?

Plus, the G4 does not have enough puff in its power supply to feed the monstruous Athlon. An Athlon PC supplying power to a low power G3/G4 sound more logical.
