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
