- Whyever not? I have a CAMAC crate with a couple of DSP technologies 200 MHz
- digitizers which can multiplex for an additional two channels at 100 MHZ
- each. I have yet to find a GPIB digitizer which can come close to keeping up
- with the A3000 processing data in realtime with the Web (except when doing
- ffts). I have pretty much sole access to this CAMAC digitizer for the time
- being and desperately need the high transfer rates the CAMAC affords for my
- auralization of ultrasonic signal data research and for some acoustic
- emissions research we are doing with the Amiga. Heck I can pull data off the
- supplied 52Meg Quantum at over 5x any other means I currently have at my
- disposal. If could I/O map the CAMAC crate, things can go significantly
- faster than that.
