After spending an hour drooling at the Progressive Peripherals (sp)
display at the AmiExpo, I have a few questions for you guys, and I
think a lot of people would like to know the answers.

1) what kind of graphics throuput can you get with your 32 bit
double bufered baord, specifically lines/sec, antialiased lines/sec
and polygons/sec.

2) what kind of throughput do you get with this board with your 040
board (estimate for production 040's) ? 

3) Could this setup be used with the unix system?

My idea, a unix 3000 with your 040 and 32 bit baord and an ethernet
card could directly compete with a Silicon Graphics personal Iris if
the graphics are reasonably fast, and some clever people write some
software for it.
