[comp.sys.amiga.hardware] PVA2350? Transputer?

barrett@jhunix.HCF.JHU.EDU (Dan Barrett) (05/06/91)

	Near the end of 1988, Commodore showed some new products at
COMDEX.  This included the '286 Bridgeboard, the A590, and some other
goodies.  Two of these, to my knowledge, were never released:

	PVA2350:	"Professional Video Adapter"; a real-time frame
			grabber, digitizer and genlock system.

	Transputer:	Amiga Transputer Parallel Processing Workstation.
			Uses Inmos T414 15 MHz, 32-bit processor....

I'm curious whatever happened to these products.

                                                        Dan

	I was there (that was the last time they sent engineers to one of
those shows).  They were clearly labelled "Technology Previews", not products,
as was the A2410 and Unix.
