Are ADI actively promoting and supporting/developing this? I thought the 
ADI Extended Csound was now pretty well dead. The 6-channel Sphinx card 
we (CDP) got years ago is now only fit for a museum, as it only had 
drivers for Win95 (and possibly NT), and was more than a little flaky in 
that it would crash at the slightest provocation.

Indeed I have a drawer full of miscellaneous ADI kit (including an 
unopened and unused Sharc 21065 EZKIT - offers?) that would probably 
pass for cool modern art if glued or nailed to a plinth and 
spray-painted; but I have no expectations of ever plugging them into a 
machine and actually using them any more.

And if we want f/p double precision, then we would need to rely mainly 
on accelerator hardware such as the latest nVidia GPUs (1 Tflop for the 
price of an iMac), etc. Or a custom FPGA of some kind.

Since my day job is as a digital logic designer for a large FPGA 
manufacturer, this idea had crossed my mind also...
