>>I was told that DPS has no plans to support additional / larger hard drives.
That is exactly opposite of what Brick Eckstein and Dave White told me at
SIGGRAPH. It is also exactly opposite of what they recently did. The Version
1.51 was released for the sole purpose of supporting the faster state of the
art IDE drives. Also, the development of VCR control for the PAR was
temporarily shelved because the engineer assigned to this task left the employ
of DPS and they currently have not reassigned this project. But, I was told,
it doesn't mean the project is dead. Also the PAR VCR was recently released
for windows and a win95 software package is under beta. As they told me it's
the future of ISA that will dictate the future of the PAR. My personal opinion
is that ISA is here for at least another year. Beyond that I think it will
become as scarce as NUbus on the MAC.
