(They aren't expecting more stock 'till the new year. Unbelievable.) After some frantic chasing, I'm happy to say that we located an alternative supplier, cheaper, and with a distributor open later than 5pm 8) The new "this card works" entry is the Alloy 9400P3; it's a PCI card featuring the Digital DC21040-AA part (wow, old!) and it's a full 3-way combo (TP/BNC/AUI). Even more scary, at one-off it's AUD$69.00 ex-tax. (For Australian readers, look up Qsoft in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne. We ordered after 5:30 local time and the cards were on my desk when I got in the next morning. Alloy also have a 1-800 number here that were able to confirm before I ordered that the card was indeed Tulip-based.) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
