After hearing much about the upcoming release of Creamware's SCOPE
system i contacted them to see if i could get any more information about
it, this is what i got back which may be of interest to some of the
people on this list.

>Since most of the processing power will be handled from SCOPE's 6 SHARC DSP
>chips (the release version may have 12!)
>you will not need a screaming machine to run it.  You would want at last a
>P200, 64 MB of RAM and some very fast hard
>drives.  During the summer months as we draw nearer to the release of
>SCOPE, the desired PC configuration will also become
>clearer.

>The basic setup will consist of the Scope PCI hardware and software.
>Pricing is also preliminary but this combination
>will cost roughly 5,000 U.S.  We will have confirmed pricing shortly as
>well.

>It is a bit early for me to confirm anything

Any further enquiries are welcome, but for myself it seems this system
is way beyond me in price and the performance needed, i knew it was to
good to be true..
