Thanks that explains most of what I have seen. I have also seen it used on a number of SCSI controllers of yore and I believe the HP LJ 4 also used the i960 for its processor. Outside of the Hauppauge 4860 I don't think I have ever seen a PC architecture board with the i860 and I am not even sure how much use the Hauppauge board got out of the i860 except for video processing. -Ali
