	Well, typical mail order price for the PnP Pro here is US$165 or 
so.  So you're paying about a $55 premium for it.  If it's pretty tough to
find, it might be worth it.

> What is the difference between a GUS PnP and the PRO? Just the memory?

	The PRO comes with 512K RAM built into the card.  I think that's
the only difference.  (someone please correct me if I'm wrong)  So if
you've got some 70ns or faster 30pin SIMMS sitting around, you could
probably just go with a plain Ultrasound PnP.  Typical mail order price for
the plain PnP is US$125.
