<<I'm not privy to your near term plans, but if they include something along
those lines, then it may be worth the lost margin up front in order to get the
installed base to the point that there is enough market to justify the
development of customized software that takes advantage of the board and REALLY
takes the card into a class all its own.>>
Now this guy's thinking. Use the hardware upgrade (and take the initial margin
hit) as a loss leader… then blast the users with software to make the card
what it really should be. Sounds like SCSI… $50 per device driver.
Really, though, I think Angelo is on to something here.
