The Digital Animation transputer is the same as the SANG Transputer Board
(don't know why it isn't sold in the US under its "real" name). That
means, no (absolutely NO) software uses it. Bazbo Soft and Impulse
denied that they're working on conversions of Photon Paint and Turbo
Silver.

The Frambuffer sounds interesting. It's sold in Germany for 3000 mark. But
can I get the pictures to video? What video signal does the card use?

VD-1? Never heard of that. What is it?
