David: PMJI, but be careful of the SPEA board. I went to a show here in San Francisco a few months ago and there was a big booth prominently displaying information on the SPEA board. Since they had 3DS loaded and running on two computers, I asked for a demo of the SPEA. I was given all sorts of excuses why it couldn't be demo'ed at the moment and I was told to come back when Mr. or Mrs. So and So would be there. I came back four times over three hours and each time I was told come back when someone else would be there to show to the demo. The fifth time I returned, I encountered the president of the American company distributing the SPEA (I think it was the Video Seven company). He also tried giving me the run-around and when I told him I wasn't interested in hearing anymore talk about what a great board it was; that I just wanted to see the thing demonstrated, he finally just said, "No." That's all just, "No." I have heard other people who have actually tried the board and found that it does not work. The 3DS drivers don't exist or don't work. I don't know if Ingo has actually used the board or is just reading the data sheets. Alec Jason
