	I took some time out from my busy day to call Second Wave in Austin
and ask them some questions about their product.  I was hoping they would
incriminate themselves to me by telling me their product would run the 
Radius Rocket.

	What happened was they told me up front, that the chassis they
sell only adds 4 Nubus slots.  They said that no extra capabilities were
added to an SI. In fact, the person on the phone (sorry, I did not take a 
name, because I felt that would look suspicious) told me that the only 
known problm with it was that Radius Rockets wouldn't run on it.  This, he 
said, was because the rocket doesn't run on ANY SI.  He also told me that
Radius was coming out with a SI accelerator this fall.  He then told me
that other accelerators, such as Applied Engineering and Impulse worked
fine on their expansion chassis.
	
	I don't know anything about the money problems you seem to
have had with them, but for the net's info, they didn't misrepresent the
product to me.
	Dated Sept 1,1992  time 4:15 Austin Time (central)

	Perhaps the company hires temporary employees to man the phones 
sometimes.  Said temp would not have been told everything, in fact probably
couldn't understand your question, therefore resulted to the tactic of all
salespeople everywhere: say yes!
      
	Just my observations and experiences with them. I am not affiliated
with them in any way!  Only setting the record flat.
