G'Day,
	We've got a little problem in that we require an extremely fast
floating point accelerator for a PC based system, but one that doesn't
cost the earth. I've seen i860 plug in cards, but here in Australia,
these retail somewhere around the $8-15k range, more than we can afford.
I seem to recall that a company named HAUPPAGE (if I remember correctly)
used to sell a 486 motherboard with an i860 built into it. Further, I'm
sure I saw a PC on sale in the UK with this board for around 3k pounds
sterling. So does anyone have a contact for an Australian supplier (or
failing this, the US suuplier) of these motherboards, or any comments
generally about them ?

Thanks a lot,
