Also, I believe a developer's kit for a Private Eye can be ordered from PC Connection. With the PC CGA emulation card, I believe the kit is ~$500. Just the Private Eye is ~$400. Call yourself for the real numbers. -- --> Michael B. Johnson --> MIT Media Lab -- Computer Graphics & Animation Group --> (617) 253-0663 -- wave@media-lab.media.mit.edu
