We are considering using the NatSemi DP8500 Graphics chipset, and I am interested in hearing from *anyone* who has had hardware/software experiences/comments that they could relate to me. We are especially interested in anyone working in the X11 area, and are seeking comments about the chipset's long term viability in the light of some of the newer very fast RISC based processors (e.g. i960) which allow a different trade-off (simpler hardware - dumb frame buffer - very fast processor <-> smarter graphics controller) Thanks!, Andrew McRae inet: andrew@megadata.mega.oz.au Megadata Pty Ltd, uucp: ..!uunet!megadata.mega.oz.au!andrew North Ryde 2113 Phone: +61 2 805 0899 NSW AUSTRALIA Fax: +61 2 887 4847
