Ben, I thought I'd share with you some of the new information about the SDP. The A1000 board was shown at AmiExpo and caused quite a stir. New data: The SCSI chip set is of the new 4 MByte/Sec variety. The MC68881 option is compatible with the new 68881 support libs from Amiga. The MC68881 option is compatible with the new 68882 floating point co-processor. The MC68881 option will run at any speed up to 25MHz Old data: The half meg of ram is quad ported. All sections of the board can communicate thru this ram at full speed. There is a custom dma controller on card. There is a custom mmu on card. The hard disk boot spec is supported. At this point we might be thinking that the initial estimate of 400,000 bytes per second through our file system was a bit low. But who knows. Best of success with your new file system – maybe we could chat about it a bit sometime – compare notes as it were. I will be unavailable for the next week due to a previous appointment with a new bride and a warm beach. Keep'em flyen. Perry
