Their number is (818)347-7791. I'm not sure if they have ADSP running on the Sun 3 yet, but they were getting close back in November. They definitely do have some software for the Sun 3. I saw it running when I worked with them, and I saw an announcement for product shipment back in early January. I used the software on a MIPS M/120 last year, and it was great. I ran a MacII diskless (well, I had to boot from floppy, but after that it asked me for a Unix login, kicked out the disk, and warm-booted from the network). Also, it gives Unix/Mac access to printers on both networks, so you can access a LaserWriter from Unix and a Unix printer from the Mac. There's also a Unix mail interface and a few other neat items. My point is that it can be useful for many needs, not just ADSP. ----------------------------------------------------------- -alan
