- Well, its not likely. It sounds (from the descriptions) that it's only
- internal port will be the PDS. So until someone makes a graphics card to fit
- the PDS, the answer is no (it definately won't have the VME slot).

- From the advert. noize, it is sounding like everyone and his cousin
- is jumping up and down to get one so they can write software for it. Reality
- is that the Music industry is the one jumping up and down - the rest, well
- as a professor once said the proof is in the pudding (or in this case, the
- software). It is almost a given that there are people working on software
- that takes advantage of the new sound/DSP capabilities.
-
- BTW, did you get a chance to try the dynamite demo on a TT?
-
- Awesome. I hope they plan on making a .mod/.segm player - the
- stuff they had sounded smoother/better than any other software I have tried -
- I kept forgetting it was only 8-bit samples. Of course, they probably did some
- optimizing of sounds for the demo, but...it still sounded good.
