Unfortunately, the 34020 in not availible yet. I don't have the announcement that I recieved from TI, but i think they were targeting Q1 '89. Look for boards for the Mac II and PC/AT around Summer '89. NeWS i could not guess on. Also...the boards will be pretty pricey for a while, as i have heard the target price is $500 each for the 34020 and the 34083. They hope that will drop an order of magnatude by 1990. ken seefried iii ...!{akgua, allegra, amd, harpo, hplabs, ken@gatech.edu inhp4, masscomp, rlgvax, sb1, uf-cgrl, ccastks@gitvm1.bitnet unmvax, ut-ngp, ut-sally}!gatech!ken
