[ Get a look at this short O(n) DES decryption algorith

	   What has surprised me most about the talk on the net
	about accessing the 2000's PC bus has been its preoccupation
	with sharing file systems.  Or more accurately, the lack of
	discussion on using other PC cards in the Amiga.  It makes
	me wonder what PC hardware DOESN'T work well, properly, or even
	at all in the 2000.

	   So, BridgeBoard users, have any of you experimented with
	speedup boards, ram boards, video boards, or networking boards
	on the PC side?

	   If nothing else, I'd really be interested in hearing from
	the folks in West Chester a few more details on what Commodore
	envisions might be done with the PC side and the janus.library.
	F'rinstance, what obstacles exist to running any of the hoard
	of 2/386, DSI-020, Transputer, etc. boards that are supposed
	to work in proper PC clones?  

	   Or, maybe some people are a little uneasy at the thought
	that widespread use of low-cost PC boards in the Amiga will
	hurt the market for Zorro II communications boards, and to
	a lesser extent coprocessor and video boards that can be
	run quite effectively run on the PC-side?

	   If you don't want to tie up Usenet with a reply that 
	might not be of widespread interest, please feel free to
	send email and "I will post a summary if one is warranted".
