I was also told there a versions for VAX-VMS, MAC-2's, and (I think) SUN's. No doubt the USA domestic price will be $500 even though the current exchange rate is about $1.80! Motorola also stated that the same tools will be available for the DSP96000; whether this is just because they are code compatible or whether it will use the extra features in the DSP96000, he did not say. I hope this helps. Brian Woodroffe. Queensferry Telecomms Division - Hewlett Packard. The above facts are not necessarily the views of my employer.
