Paul,

Sorry, no. (Well, not REALLY sorry.) Anyway, the Amiga-PAR ,
a virtual necessity for all LW animators (good, back on topic) is a
Zorro slot card, and hence will never fit in a clone.
However, the TBC IV is a clone-slot card.
The DPS people have stated publicly that the Amiga PAR-sw is cooler,
mostly (i think) because of the AREXX support. I myself have written
several AREXX routines to do handy PAR-trix (tm), which DPS obligingly
makes obsolete by adding features within a month or two! (Ya-hoo!)
DPS, for my money, have been THE best Amiga hardware developers.
Support them if you can!
