WHAT?? A Mast product not shipping when it's supposed to? What a surprise! It's always possible that MAST has changed their ways, but I'll go out on a limb here and give an opinion: if you see an ad for something cool from MAST, turn the page and forget about it. They have never shipped anything but the Fireball SCSI controller, as far as I know (and boy is it a winner). Anybody remember the Infinity Machine? Its progress sounded a lot like the Colorburst's. Delay, delay, and still more delay, until it finally just faded into the past. Don't worry about the Colorburst: it will never be released. Ever. ***************************************************************************** ** Bill Gribble Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA ** ** bgribble@jarthur.claremont.edu Never heard of it?
