ISA-version availability is Nov 89, but I have recently ordered this card and software (not yet received) and would be glad to share my results with anyone interested in 1-2 mos. After investigating (discussions and reading only) these types of products, I believe that the DVA-4000 will give the most bang for the buck. I have also purchased a VideoWindows card from New Media Graphics (780 Boston Road, Billerica, Mass 01821 -- 508-663-0666) which has similar functionality. I have not been able to test it yet. >I have only very hazy idea of the cost, complete package with sofware >under $5000? I would be interested seeing some discussion comparing DVA-4000 $2495 MIC System 150 MIC Ref. Manual 75 MIC Dev. Tools 495 If anyone else has used these products or would like a product summary of my findings, please email and I will reply in Feb.
