Jack- Thanks for your very complete response. The work you're doing at Vibrant on 3DS sounds really promising. I'm looking forward to hearing more about it. Incidentally, did you happen to catch Steve Gibson's series of articles in InfoWorld on the pros and cons of local bus? I'd be very interested to hear what you think. I uploaded a message about this on the ACAD forum but I think it bears repeating over here so here it is: I have just read a _fascinating_ series of articles in InfoWorld by Steve Gibson. Steve Gibson, in case the name isn't familiar, is the creator and developer of Spin-Rite, the president of Gibson Research Corp., and he writes the weekly "Tech Talk" column in InfoWorld. In a series of five articles from 12/21/92 to 1/25/93 Steve gets right down in the mud and crunches the numbers. The conclusion he comes up with is startling (and disappointing). His "bottom line" is the following: "I have been unable to measure any performance gain from using a state-of-the-art local bus adapter over the same technology adapter on the ISA bus." [More]
