The new driver has been finished for some time, I'm pretty sure
that all `registered owners' have been sent a copy, but if your cohort
doesn't have it call us tomorrow, or EMAIL me the address and I'll send
it right out. We haven't had any bug reports about the new driver so
far. (By the way, what kind of problems is he/she having, there wasn't
all that much wrong with the initial release, I'm curious?)
As for the SCSInet, we are working on it, when we announced it, we
said it wouldn't be ready 'til sometime in the 2nd Qtr. But we are making
progress on it. We have had to side track to take care of the important
things, however. When a customer asks for a special driver we take the
time away from SCSInet or some other project to accommodate him. For
example, we just finished up a driver for a 800Meg WORM (Optical Disk),
can your Byte by Byte handle one? And we are in the final phase of
finishing tha driver to run two ST-506 drives off an Adaptec 4070 SCSI
controller, allowing back-up from one drive to the other at transfer
rates in excess of 500KBytes/sec. It backs-up a 50 Meg drive in 1.6 min.
and it all happens without the Amiga even realizing it, because we are
doing it as a SCSI function.
We are just beginning to tap the possibilities that we have
available to us with our SCSI Card. Be patient, if you want it, you'll
probably get it, 'cause we're probably workin' on it.
