Almost all of the TROPIC's that I know of are either glued to an ISA or PCMCIA bus. The PCMCIA variety looks exactly like the ISA's except there are a few (8 I think) extra PCMCIA specific registers. The only other TROPIC's that I know of are glued to proprietary busses and I don't think they matter to us. Larry On Tue, 6 Jul 1999, Matthew N.
