Fair enough...

Off the top of my head, I forget what interfaces the 1325, 1335 and
1355 have (I have all of them on the shelf), but yes... find out what
the 1355 looks like, and and see what else is like it.

I have some 1.2GB ESDI drives on an SDI card... they got quite large.

I should be so lucky to have an Sbus GPIB card... I do have a couple of
ISA cards (and a couple of Qbus cards), but that's it... if I ever
end up manufacturing a D9060/D9090-compatitible, it will be with a
home-brew machine, perhaps 68000-based (since I have $40K MSRP worth
of debugging/development tools).
