We have been looking into the CSA boards and VME board for SUNs.
I talked to CSA on friday for about an hour and it seems that
their SUN VME board is in the final stages of development and
will be ready for delivery in early january.  I thought that
they were simply providing a VME board (with 1 transputer, probably
a T212 or T222).  No crossbar switch etc was mentioned. (Topologix
sells boards like that).

I was scheduled to go down to CSA on friday to take a look at their
operation, but I got a call at 7:00am saying that our contact,
who I believe was Glen Lowery, was no longer with the company.
You'd better call and find out for yourself.
