While agree that competition will bring down the cost of video boards in unix workstations, the rasterops board was the cheapest device available when we bought it last aug. also, at the time the only real alternative for sparcstations. several people have boards for deskside units (e.g., parallax, somebody else whose name i forget), but they didn't have sparc boards nor did they seem interested in doing one. finally, we got a good university discount which brought the board down to $3.5k (i probably should not report this, but what the heck...). now the question is where are the video compression boards and when will C-cubed fix their chips? larry
