OK! My idea is to take a full PC (which many have already) complete with PSU, IDE-controller, whatever sound-card, graphics-card, etc-card you have. Take out the main CPU-card and replace it with a SAM-card (or alternative, just plug it into a free slot and have some sort of mechanism that selects the card you want to use). This SAM-card should have a more-or-less identical bus-structure as the x86-cards. This way you can cut down on add-on-development-costs and in stead make a high-speed SAM computer. > Brian > -- ^ One To-day is Worth Two To-morrows (Ben Franklin) ^ | ....or: One Yesterday is Worth a Quarter of One To-morrow... | | Frode Tennebo | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Parkv. 31, 6400 Molde, NORWAY | http://www.hiMolde.no/~frodet | | Phone: +47 712 57716 | [EMAIL PROTECTED] |
