Evaluation units will be available in Q1CY93. [ Dist discounts up to 1/2 possible ... ] Hmm, With a screamer Mag disk running around $2-3 a meg and this guy maybe around $50-100 your application is gonna really have to demand Ultra High speed disk memory to use it... Of course with the way memory prices go pricing could drop, Also with cheap CPU's capable of addressing Gigs now, and Terabytes in the near future, I'm not sure of the viability of this technology, Would seem more prudent to stuff the RAM on the BUS (or BUSes) directly. I dunno. -- Keith Smith uunet!ksmith!keith 5719 Archer Rd. Digital Designs BBS 1-919-423-4216 Hope Mills, NC 28348-2201 Somewhere in the Styx of North Carolina ...
