(I know they have 3 boards planned, all based on the same basic design) And ``very likely''. I think Dave (Haynie, not Wright) said an '040 board for the 3000 will be very basic. Marc, I'd watch what you say, since you *obviously* don't know what you're talking about. On the other hand, I'm more inclined to believe Dave Wright, since not only does he have a reputation for being right, but it's been stated by Haynie that it was Just That Simple. You, on the other hand, have a nasty reputation for being rude, obnovious, and above all, WRONG. > -MB- >> >> >> Dave -- // Joseph Hillenburg/Blackwinter, Secretary, Bloomington Amiga Users Group \X/ jph@valnet.UUCP jph@irie.ais.org jph@gnu.ai.mit.edu "Project: Desert Storm is also known as ``The Mother of All Ass-Kickings.''"
