Vance,
If this incredible piece of hardware is available, There will undoubtably be
LOADS of developers who want to utilize SuperComputer processing power for
their Hardware & software. It would be in NewTek's best interest to allow the
Screamer to be used by ALL platforms. The Screamer, if it uses the Toaster and
Amiga as a kind of 'Dongle' (which it would be) would be vastly under-utilizing
its potential. If it is meerly a rendering engine, connected to the Toaster
Workstation by some type of network connection accepting data to be processed,
wouldn't other platforms be able to supply that same raw data? What would save
the Amiga market here would be a more integrated relationship whereby the
Screamer acts as a Toaster 'Accelerator' and inherently relies on the Amiga
and/or Toaster in much the same way the Toaster is tied into the Amiga
Hardware.
Things are really starting to get interesting.
Later, Jim
