Anybody know anything about it? Do I correctly infer that it will NOT work with the HZ-100, even if external? (I'll ask Heath that question.) What's its competition, since $375 is probably down around my pain threshold? --- Don Malpass [malpass@LL-vlsi.arpa], [malpass@spenser.ll.mit.edu] The Malpass Principle: Given a binary choice, the statistical probability of doing the right thing is 31.7% - on good days.
