I understand the difficulty with adding PCI to VSTa is the BIOS of the Intel
platform having been written for a macrokernel. WindowsNT (pardon the
obscenity) supports PCI on a microkernel. If you throw enough code at the
problem, you can do anything.

Would the PowerPC G4 or the AlphaPC provide a friendlier platform for a PCI
enabled VSTa?

Does anybody have an opinion on garbage collection as seen in Inferno and
Oberon?
