	I talked to DayStar Digital this past week for questions on 
	problems with the 030 40mhz card for the IIci running under
	AU/X, and it seems there are some "Little problems..." with 
	the card, and that "...we are working with Apple on this
	problem and will not release the card until the problems
	are fixed..." 

	It seems that all of these neat products that would be 
	PERFECT for AU/X don't seem to support AU/X. (I looked 
	at AE's Quadralink too, again, so support).

	Kinda frustrating... :-(
