- Does anyone know if Apple or an Apple vendor is planning on creating
- an ATM interface on a NuBus adapter with a QuickRing implementation?

- It would seem such a set-up with a couple of other QuickRing boards
- (like a video processing board) would allow for a mac to process,
- manipulated (etc.), broadcast quality or HDTV video in real-time
- (and then send it off to be broadcast/retransmitted.)
