Must be nice to link 9 Amiga >3000's, and do a raytrace... :) We haven't link 9 together, but we have linked 4 with 040 equipped 3000s. Take a look at some of the renderings that will be on display at AmiExpo in DisneyWorld next month ;-). It is possible for us to hook 32 together since AppleTalk Rev1 supports up to 32 nodes per zone. If we use a bridge, it could be more, but since the Ray Tracer sends scan lines, it would only be useful up to 32000 nodes (since that's the limit of 3dpro2 and the RT module) ;-). >Greg >with a little imagination."
