Well, that's close.  The cheapest configuration gets you 1 TMS320C30
and 4 Mbytes of DRAM.  That price is $3995.

The most expensive option is with 4 TMS320C30 chips and 16 Mbytes of
DRAM.  The DRAM is shared between the 4 processors, the VME bus, and
the VSB bus.  This board can be a MASTER or SLAVE on either VME or
VSB.  Each processor also has 32Kx32 words of local fast static ram
that is not shared with the other processors.

This looks like a very nice board, I should be getting a manual in the
mail today.

The person in sales that I talked to was Bill Morse (213) 495-9533.
