The Only question I have though is that with Apple's new low cost macs, can CIrTech make this card cheap enough. I can get a Mac Classic with a 40 megabyte hard drive for only $999.99. I know Duet is suppose to have a 68020 whereas the Classic only has a 68000. Can someone give an estimated price of the Duet if it were to come out. No doubt it would be cheaper than the LC with the GS's hardware already purchased. The bottom line is that I LIKE THE GS BETTER THAN A MAC, andI'm sure many others do too! So, I would buy the Duet over a Mac for the compatibility reasons, and still use all of my favorite GS software. I say save the Duet!, The GS would greatly benefit from it! Shawn Platkus
