[comp.misc] Wanted info on the Intel WILD Card

cns@mtunm.ATT.COM (Constantine Sgouros) (07/20/90)

Some time ago, Intel had announced the so called "computer on a card"
by the name of WILD Card (?). 

Was it discontinued? Any information will be appreciated.

I'm not sure if Intel discontinued it formally, but they've definitely
stopped pushing it.  As far as I can tell, it died because there was little
customer interest, and because the people driving the project left Intel.
