Yeah the 861V6 needed a new OA18 card for the new buss. But the G68SL may still have a G68XXL vintage balanced card.

Curious if the 861V6 has more mips buried in there. It would amaze me if it didn't since more mips could be used for so many things. Even it was just a faster clocked chip with similar pinout and backwards compatible they could still run existing code for while.

They may play the same game as they did with G61R and upgrade it's public specs later.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
