  18. This data is several years old, but I suspect still somewhat correct.

  20. Datacube markets several image/video hardware devices.
  21. They range from framebuffers, video rates resample/filter boards,
  22. video in boards, and bulk display memories.  In the past these 
  23. have been VMEbus based with point to point "front plane" cabling
  24. for high BW data paths.  They may have S-bus native options now as
  25. well, I don't know.
