Pano Logic was a Bay Area startup that manufactured tiny thin clients that were connected to a central server. All Pano devices have a Ethernet interface, a few USB ports, audio output port, and one or two video ports.
Unfortunately for Pano Logic, but fortunate for FPGA hobbyists Pano Logic when out of business in 2012. Shortly thereafter TONS of both new and used Pano Logic devices started showing up on ebay for very little money since they were pretty much useless without support. Even today (June 2023) both versions of the Pano Logic devices are still readily available on ebay for little.
Tom Verbeure has spent a lot of time reverse engineering the Pano Logic devices and created a absolute mind blowing raytracing demo that runs on a G1 device. It was this Hackaday article on his project that really got the Pano hacking scene rolling.
There are several models of the Pano devices that range from the largest chip in the Xilinx Spartan-3E family to the largest chip in the Spartan 6 family. Please see this page for more information on the features of the various models of the Pano Logic devices.
