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. David A. J. Jevans Jade Simulations International #80, 1833 Crowchild Trail N.W.
