Brad Hathaway inquired about the cost of these accelerators. When I called Total Systems, the gal I talked to said they were going to retail at $2999, but through March they were having an "introductory offer" of around $2000. Added feature: Their product information (I just loooove 800 numbers, don't you?) indicates that the Magellan has a processor direct slot on the board itself, so you can still add video or whatever. (They had a name for it, but it escapes me.) Also, they said they've published the specs for this slot, "to encourage the development of [slot name]." I'm wondering: wouldn't this second board have to pull the viscious u-turn to fit in an si? See my next posting for what I'd like to see developers come out with. --Andrew Laurence eaeu137@orion.oac.uci.edu "The Hottentots are coming!" -- Rosebud the Basselope
