20/10 questions: :-)

Does anyone know of a vendor who makes attached signal processing
cards for an HP300 series workstation, running UNIX and programming
in C or FORTRAN?  I can only find companies that provide cards for
BASIC or PASCAL workstation varieties.  Ideally, the card should be
able to do a 1Meg or so FFT, and the price can be high if necessary :-)

Do any of the HP dudes know if WGL (Waveform Generation Language)
that controls an AWS (Arbitrary Waveform Synthesizer) can run under
UNIX?  Our current BASIC (blecch!) quirkstation is a 9000/310, so it
is VERY slooooooow.  We have the HP RMB emulator program under HP-UX,
if that helps...  The HP reps here said that you couldn't because
WGL needs an antique variety of display screen only available on a
310(!)  Is this really true?
