"A couple of months back, Cale Lewis and I (Andrew Lampert) put our heads together and came up with some burning questions about the development of the BeBox and various BeBox prototypes that were built along the way. Given the nature of our questions, we headed straight to the source - Mr BeBox himself, Joseph Palmer - to seek some answers."

Used in the first BeBox prototype(s), before they switched to PowerPC:

There have been images saved from some of the Hobbit BeBoxen and some success in figuring out some of the details of the early BeOS development.

Be, Inc., The BeBox, the BeOS, the mailing lists, Be Dope, the engineers, even Jean-Louis' nipples - They all rocked!
God, I miss the good old days. And the constant stream of new and *improved* versions of BeOS. :]
Anyway, we've got Haiku now, and some great people pushing the cart. Now all we need is a next-gen BeBox. (Surely 64-bit x86 is not the be-all, end-all? A corpse with lipstick? Come on!)

I was lucky enough to catch Joseph Palmer's BeOS demo at Tokyo MacWorld Expo in 1997 and can testify that he really got into it and did a great job. (See a few pictures here: http://cunningham-lee.com/tiki-index.php?page_ref_id=338 .) It was an exciting phenomenon, all in all, and there hasn't been anything like it since, IMHO.
