take a look at this link and tell me if you have seen this card floating around?
i might like to check it out, but I've never seen it on GBAtemp.

is this just a archaic card that never made it to launch??

I bet it was canned... that link was posted back in 2007 i think, going off the comments.

in any event if anyone can find this today I'd love to see it in action! hehe

I used to have one!

They were great, although you need to boot your homebrew from a slot-2 card in order to use them, or switch your slot-1 card. In fact one of my games (SensitivDS) can use the motion controls.

If you are interested in motion controls, Neoflash make a card called the R6Gold, which uses the same technology. It can patch some commercial games to use motion also like mariokart, but motion is best used in homebrew anyway. The homebrew compatibility of the R6Gold is very good, commercial games are apparently hit&miss and the price is a little high, but if its something you want...

Currently there is no DSi compatible motion card of any sort.

Some homebrew actually support the tilting, like I remember one of Spinal_Cord's firmwares had support for it.

any other places to get a r6gold card for a cheap price?

I snagged an R6 at http://www.zhuzhuchina.com for $25 but that was a while ago. It's great for games like namico museum, load runner and the like. It's more of a novelty than anything. I'd say pocket physics is great with it though.
