I am working on a project to link Ardent, SUN and tektronics graphic workstations with the BBN-1 and the NCUBE. This interfacing will significantly enhance the capability of the workstations by making use of the workstations for graphics and the parallel machines for number crunching. As the amount of data available at the backend of a workstation is of the order of hundreds of Megabytes per sec therefore I am making use of FDDI (Fiber Distributive Data Interface), which is a high speed net for taking the data to the parrallel machines for processing and back. Could anybody tell me about the suitability of the SUN FDDI board for implementing this link and the name and if possible the address of any other vendor offering a FDDI board. Also if someone has any suggestions on this project please let me know. Thanks! Gurjot
