How much would it cost? I might just try to build an X11R4 server for it... Does it have any on-board coprocessors like the TI chip? -Jim No price info, maybe when they've actually released the card. They mention a T800 transputer chip for the Visiona "highpaint" version. A planned board, Visiona highpaint ART, features a 64bit, fast interface to a hardware drawing unit, which could then be for example the i860 or something else. According to the brochure this board is planned for release this year, but I think next year is more like it (as the first board in the series isn't out yet). I wish they'd print their brochures in english. German is too much this time of the day... :-) -- Leonard
