I'm assuming it's one of them given it was a gift from Sagitta. Quite a while back when I was in it. Then, they were using FPGA's to offload cracking from our Pentium 3's and 4's. High end FPGA's cost $1-2k. Systems that integrate them were often a lot more expensive but one could get coprocessor cards. So, not sure if password cracking has come down in cost or gone up vs FPGA's.
The combo of algorithms supported, flexibility, and performance is certainly better than cranking out HW implementations on FPGA's.
