Someone recently mentioned there was an expansion card for the GS that contained floating point hardware that acceleratedthe SANE routines (presumably it also accelerates the fixed point ones too.) he didn't have the details. I too would like to know who makes it, how fast it is, and how much it costs. TMPLee@dockmaster.arpa
