- Well I just called MacroSystems Development this morning and talked to them
- for a bit. The Warp 060 will be available "soon" in his words, but he wouldn't
- give me an exact date. There will be an upgrade path for current WarpEngine
- owners, but no details on how much price difference. So I really didn't learn
- much of anything <g>. Right now, it's a race. If the CyberStorm MKII becomes
- available (with the SCSI option) before the WarpEngine 060, then I'll get the
- CyberStorm. The only reason I'm getting the MKII is for the upgrade path to
- the PPC card. However, I'm not going to wait 3 or 4 months for a MKII either.
- If MacroSystem comes out with their 4060 then I'll go with that. I know their
- quality is good, they have faster RAM access to the memory than a CyberStorm,
- and it includes a good SCSI controller.
