We're not targetting anything at all. Sometimes I use "PCI" in the abstract to refer to any peripheral bus. Plus, this audio project is purely hypothetical right now. I personally am not targetting anything because I do not intend to lead this project. If the community finds a leader or facilitator who can collect everything together into a spec, I can give some feedback about what's feasible in hardware, and Traversal can build it. > > Tim if I am off base with these posts please sir do not be shy about telling > me to please be quiet.

Keep in mind that the retail price I'm going after for these audio cards is in the thousands, even for the economy model. I want a design that's equivalent to tens of thousands of dollars in pro equipment that we sell for only a few thousand due to the economy of the open source model. As for taking donations, since Lourens is working on the web site, perhaps he can build into it what's necessary to accept pre-money. First we need a way for people to simple declare that they would be willing to either donate or pre-order. Next, we can start accepting real money. > I will say this however, IMHO you really need to put serious thought into > your 2nd Gen. shipping video card being a good 3D solution that entry/mid > level gamers could appreciate.

Perhaps you could consider Note that the higher-end it is, the easier it is to give you your money's worth. _______________________________________________ Open-graphics mailing list [email protected] http://lists.duskglow.com/mailman/listinfo/open-graphics List service provided by Duskglow Consulting, LLC (www.duskglow.com)
