It's the Cyclom-Z series, and the first model is 8 ports with an octopus
cable. They plan to have a future model expandable to 128 ports per card
with breakout boxes. Top speed is supposed to be 460kbps...but I've not
even gotten a Bitsmurfer Pro to do 230kbps yet. I suspect the BSP may
need a flash upgrade.

Comtrol RocketPorts also claim to be able to do 460kbps...but I've never
tried pushing them that fast.
