I have heard that the COMTRADE VL-Bus systems come with a "Viper" imitator and
not the original.  Could someone please explain to me what the original is and
how it is better than the Viper that is in the Comtrade system.

Additionally, could someone please tell me if they have had any experience with
the Genoa VLB card that is an accelerator for BOTH windows AND  DOS?  I am
probably going to buy a system with either the pseudo-viper from Comtrade or
with a Genoa card from Maximus.
THanx.
