- It sounds to me like the price difference may be a product of INMOS,
- then. After all IBM doesn't have to license an MCA bus-master chipset
- from anyone. Radius is licensing an ISA bus-master chipset from
- INMOS.
-
- Also BTW, expect retail prices to be lower. ATI's Graphic Ultra lists
- for about $600. I've yet to meet anyone who actually paid that much
- for it. Radius's $500 list price sounds competitive. I expect it to
- actually sell for about $300-$350 in stores.
