Rob, I put the Graphite ISA 1 Mb on order a few weeks ago based on Gibson's article. But I cancelled the order the same day based on Jim Carlton's (Hercules- 72420,1152) caution that it wasn't fully up to speed as a Windows accelerator. HE SAID THE 2 Mb version would be. So I'm holding out for the 2 Mb model. I *did* get Gibson's WINVID.COM. I really don't know what to make of all the testing, though. I'm going through another phase now. I'm looking at swapping out the ISA bus motherboard in my 486-33 with an EISA board with a couple of VL slots. It seems that some plug-in board makers are coming out with the EISA and VLB cards before the ISA ones. I wonder how much more the 1742A is than the 1542C? On the external case, you brought up something I hadn't thought of. Why would the 3401 have a different connector requirement if it was internal or external? Or a hard drive? Why couldn't the SCSI cable just go through a hole in the back of the box and connect straight to the peripheral? Is it that their voices are different? Or is it the price of their toys? <g> Dave McKeen
