Necx are sometimes a little better than ISN (www.nexc.com), but neither will ship out of the ISA. I only discovered this with Necx _after_ they got my card details. Bastards.

Not a bad disk either. > --k -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] Collector of old Unix hardware.
