I'm looking for a DES card for the PC. A quick scan through the
back pages of BYTE revealed one, but it uses a slow Intel processor
(8031) to run the algorithm. Why bother? You're better off just
doing it in software on in the host processor. Does anybody know of
a board with a *fast* chip like the AMD 9518/Z8068?

	Theres a company in Sacremento called Jones-Futurex who makes
	this type of card.  They have a variety, with various flavors of
	comms. chips on the cards.  The constant is a very secure (steel
	encased, self destruct on tampering) encryption unit using the
	AMD chipset and running NBS standard algorithms.  The person to
	talk to was Don Thompson who was director of engineering two years
	ago.  He and I did not agree so don't use my name!
