The AXPpci33 == NoName. The board was sold to OEMs for inclusion in
whatever they liked. I think you confuse the NoName with the Multia
(which is also 21066). On the last 'HCC dagen' (in Utrecht, the Netherlands)
they were selling the last 166Mc boards for US$ 12 a piece ;-) No cache,
but new in the carton box.
