The Atari ST ACSI DMA connector is a D19 as well.
BTW, D19s are terribly expensive! I had to shell out eighty crowns just for
the connectors and the shells for my ACSI cable last week.
Oh, the Atari Falcon video connector is a D19, too.

Last time we discussed it, I think someone dismissed the D19 (and the D23) as
a pure bastard.

We have support for the PMAGC-B's on pmax right? That is a PixelVision based
card right? I see Bt 463, that chip looks bigger than the 21164! Just looking
at it makes me want to write an Xserver!
