At present I can state that " my " TASC board 20 is working fine with alot of the top progs. As there are : Hiarcs 6 ( using the H3 driver ), Genius 3,5, DOS, Genius 4 ( new; on GOLD edition ) + Genius 5, W95, CM 5.500; R8 + R9 - and I repeat this constantly, eventhough some comrades report about the need of a so called 4 board option. Nope - not on my system. just try the " Silver " driver. The biggest deal would be, if Marty ( and he really tried - I know that ) and especially Shredder 3 (?) would be added, too. In case of Sh 3 I got some hope, 'cause it comes out of Ossi's hit factory, where the superb.dll was created. Should be possible to add it to a new Sh 3 version. But that's speculative. Reality - not one board comes near to the quality + number of useable progs like the TB - alas - it's really expensive. Hope, that helps for your decision, what to do. ELVIS
