- Sorry, wrong again. The RasterOps QuikPak is a daughterboard for the 24STV, i.e.
- there is not a version of the 24STV with "the chip" on it. I don't know what
- the technology is, I just know it isn't. I mean, it doesn't exist. RasterOps
- has been promising to ship this product for, oh, a couple of years now. When
- you call, they say "it'll be out in about four months, for sure". Four months
- later they say the same thing. I just called them a minute ago; they said
- "oh, sometime in the fall".
-
- There is a version of the 24STV which does audio sampling called "MediaTime".
- I believe the sampler is compatible with DigiDesigns AudioMedia board, and
- it is CD quality, with analog i/o.
