While Gus is a great programmer, and all around nice guy, he is probably not
the only person out there who knows how to force a thermal recalc. The MAX
forces recalcs at all operations other than jpeg playback, so there's no issue
there.
BTW, there's a SCSI version of the Mic AV. It's definitely slower than the
Barraccuda, and not recommended by Matrox (I think it won't work, as a matter
of fact). Plus, with SCSI's ability to do higher level arrays, throuput is
just a matter of controller and buss capabilities.
The MAX w/o Illuminator Pro lists for @ $3000, I _think_, but I don't know for
sure.
