(based upon current designs, etc...). Well, the A2630 is limited to 4MB on-board. The GVP boards have 0MB on-board, but do offer an optional daughterboard. I'm hoping someone will build a daughterboard for the A2630, which can address up to 64MB additional on such an add-on. To date, though, the A2630 limit is 4MB in any practical sense. Unless you seek into C= and steal the one 16MB board we built as a "proof of concept" on the A2630 daughterboard capability. >All GVP '030 boards have UNIX(tm) rom sockets - have since day one. >I'm not sure if C= intends to use roms anymore I think the ROM concept is on the way out, though its possible that the GVP may need them, since GVP may have to provide some kind of low level support to get UNIX up on their card (I don't know the UNIX software, this is just a guess). >Loren J.
