Not to worry.. Microway markets a number of rather powerful (and expensive)
transputer and 'quadputer' boards for the IBM PC.. I don't really know how
many of them they sell, whereas I think the FlickerFixer has probably done
pretty well by them in the Amiga market.  But I'm quite sure that they sell
enough to keep them comfortable in business.
