Subject: XTCsound confusion...


I'm asking this in public because I can't imagine I'm the only
person who is confused by all of this.  

Having spent the summer learning bits of CSound and playing with 
various software synths I have come to the conclusion I need hardware 
support for my synthesis to get the sounds I want in real time. It was 
with great excitment that I discovered the XTCSound board.  Now I 
have read about something called the Pulsar that is based in the same 
SHARC chips from Analog that CSound is. The pulsar also fulfills 
many of my hardware requirements.

My real question is this does XTCSound run on the SHARC chip ie.
can I buy the pulsar and run XTCSound or is it specific to the Analog 
board.
