Consensys is based here in Toronto.  They have some good people working
for them including a good friend of mine.  They have been in business
quite a few years now (5+ years), and have been catering to the high
performance peripherals market in PC class machines.  That is they
design and build high performance hardware, then write drivers to take
advantage of that hardware.

I had just heard a rumor they started to sell SVR4, I would *guess*
that the reason is so they can add drivers and change other OS specific
things to take maximum advantage of their groovy hardware.

Disclaimer:  I have not seen or tested any of their SVR4 stuff, but
	     do have a lot of respect for the hardware/software people
	     who work for them.
