I have constructed a pc-based flight simulation facility to support my 
research at NASA.  I have used XTAR boards and am thinking of expanding 
this system.  Other researchers are also looking into this.  However, I
just heard about potential problems/complications that might be in the offing
due to some problems between XTAR and Sublogic - whom I am told have supplied
the boards to XTAR for their products.  Does anybody know anything about this?
Also, I have been told that the TI 34020 graphics board/chip, together with
the TIGA software is a cheaper and better way to go.  Does anyone have some
further information and comments about this?
