[comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware] Compression cards

QUESTION:

I read an article a few months ago about a card that sold for about $100
which compressed files as DOS read them in and out, including executing them.
It had a RISC processor on it, an AMXXXXX?
It was supposedly 100% transparent to DOS and could effectively increase
your harddrive SPACE and SPEED, since a compressed file takes less time
to load and the card uncompresses it faster than DOS can read it.

Anyone know the name of this product or where I can get information on it?

Thank you,
