  Ok I'm tentalivly in the market for a IIsi, now the thing is I definately
need the math coprosessor (I use Theorist and other such programs all the
time) so the question is....

What is the difference between the two coprocessor card, and which one is
better for my application?

There are more nuBus cards and the're cheaper, but slower. The PDS cards
are twice as fast (20mhz vs 10) but more expensive and rarer. Also not all
SE/30 cards may fit in the SI since there is less space.
