Please post replies to sci.image.processing or e-mail me directly.  I will
post a summaries of replies to sci.image.processing.

I am interested in inexpensive hardware for large amounts 
of images processing.  By inexpensive I mean for only 
a few thousand dollars or less.  I am thinking along the
lines of a additional processor board for a PC or SUN.  I have seen PC
mother boards with a Intel i860 coprocessor. 
Does anyone have any experience with this
chip.  I understand the gcc compiler (a free C complier) will generate
code for the chip.  Again, does anyone have any experience with this product
or any other inexpensive number crunchers.

Thanks in Advance
