I'm looking for a DES card for the PC. A quick scan through the back pages of BYTE revealed one, but it uses a slow Intel processor (8031) to run the algorithm. Why bother? You're better off just doing it in software on in the host processor. Does anybody know of a board with a *fast* chip like the AMD 9518/Z8068? Phil

They have a variety, with various flavors of comms. chips on the cards. The constant is a very secure (steel encased, self destruct on tampering) encryption unit using the AMD chipset and running NBS standard algorithms. The person to talk to was Don Thompson who was director of engineering two years ago. He and I did not agree so don't use my name! Larry Backman Micom - Interlan, Inc.
