The Radius PowerView is an external graphics card built on a TMS34010 that has SCSI-in, SCSI-out, and then VGA and DB-15 connectors for you to hook up a PC or Mac monitor to it.
They were all powered by the TMS34010 CPU, a 32bit CPU/GPU hybrid designed by TI in 1986. They ran it at 6.25mhz.
_The Aura Scuzzygraph, Radius PowerView, and Radius SuperView external SCSI graphics cards for Apple Macintosh computers are based on the TMS34010._
