Re: PCI Products

Chris,

National Semi has stopped development with Myriad on their card altogether.
I am not sure if the Myriad card has ever functioned correctly.

National has contracted a company in Dallas (Terra Server Switch) to
develop
a single node QuickRing board for them.  It is called the QRB1001-EVB
(National's name) and is PCI based.  Performance characteristics are
awesome.

Call Brent Anderson (214) 719-4479 @ Terra Server Switch for more info.  I
also cc'ed him.  (brent@onramp.net)
