Wouldn't happened to be powered by a black fin processor with a good MEGABYTE of RAM by any chance? Maybe it had a Propeller as well?
People will start to whale if you nurse this topic long like this. Word play like this can be a lemon that will make people blue and mako them drag you to the sand and beat you with a hammer head.
Good video, right up until the guy tries to convince me that sharks are magical and can scrape paint better than a human using a hammer and chisel. Or maybe it is the paint that is magic and it is only vulnerable to shark teeth but not tool steel. What is it about sharks that whatever they do has to be explained more extreme than it really is?

Swell job! You should be basking in the glory of how long you were able to milk your graceful puns!
Most of the underwater vehicles I've work on had PC104 computers.
From the website:
"The REMUS control computer is based around PC-104 technology. The CPU sits on a custom motherboard with eight 12-bit analog to digital channels, I/O ports, power supplies, and other interface circuitry. The user interacts with REMUS through its diagnostic software and communicates via an RS-232 serial link. The REMUS vehicle interface program (REMUS VIP) is designed to run on a laptop equipped with Windows. The diagnostic software performs several functions including: displaying the status of all REMUS sensors; providing direct control of the vehicle via buttons and sliders; downloading mission files that tell REMUS the route to follow and the location of transponders; displaying the status of all major sub-systems and diagnostic messages; and playback of telemetry data as recorded by the vehicle during a mission. This allows users to operate and maneuver REMUS while obtaining data that can be plotted and displayed or exported in a variety of formats."

Nicely played, Tiger!
Should we skate over the rays before folks think this is a new mant(r)a?
