Wow Tony, thats a really cool board. I hope you get the support software, compilers and
all that.
I had an i860 fromAT&T Truevision, for their TOPAS 3D modeling SW, but they dropped
it.
The i860 was also in a desktop, Kubota bought the Ardent graphics supercomputer and moving
the software to this.
What a flame that was, for a time there, we all thought we were going to get graphics
supercomputers.
I have not coded any CUDA on the Nvidia boards yet, but I am sure it beats their socks
off.
Randy

Subject: [cctalk] Alacron i860 boards
I recently bought an Alacron FT200-AT dual i860 card. Basically the
earlier ISA version of this:
http://www.alacron.org/clientuploads/FT-200-PCI.PDF
It included two manuals but no software. Alacron seems still in business
but they didn't reply to email. I've called twice and noone answers their
phone, it just goes to an anonymous voicemail.
Does anyone have any software? I couldn't find anything via Google or on
bitsavers.
Thanks
Tony
