It could also be that you are a much bigger customer. I
think hearing all of the experiences are worthwhile -
good and bad.

As you recall - I was the biggest doubter or Heurikon
and carefully steered folks away from their 68020
products. WHen they called up about their 060 - Matt and
I gave them a sermon about our previous experience. They
listened, acknowledged, apologized and asked that we
give the 060 a try. They explained that since that time
they have been bought by Computer Products Inc, used the CPI
QA policies, incorporated a different manufacturers VME
interface chip, and asked if we would evaluate their new
boards. In return, they offered the great pricing to the
collaboration.

I do not recall if I reported it before - we benchmarked the
Nitro as 3 times faster executing our database - loading the
040 EPICS code. Have any bench marks been done on the other
060 boards - or can we expect the same kind of improvements
everywhere?

What kind of pricing is everyone getting on these other boards?
For small quantities too?
