Ed, I was pleased to receive in the mail today yet another example of your lies and blaming of others to benefit yourself. This time, Ed me boy, you shall either immediately put out an “urgent technical notification'' retracting your false statements or face me and my lawyers in court. Technical Notification 1. Ok C Ltd SCSI Owners get your knives out! Because you have to go cutting traces on your p.c. boards again. My beef (a small one – wait it gets better) “In fact, C Ltd. And MicroBotics are the only ones we know of who even tried to use this pin at all, most other boards simply ignored its existance and did not connect it.'' First, why are you ballyhooing that you tried to use the pin when now you're telling your customers to de-attatch it from the rest of your lame circuits? Second, Ed. You should have looked a little better at your competition. ASDG boards fully implement the Fight/Collision detection logic on each and every board. Byte By Byte implements the full specification inside their PAL boxes. CSA does as well. Oh, I'm sorry, all the companies I mentioned followed the spec. Did you mean that to your knowledge only you and one other company who did not follow spec tried half heartedly to deal with this aspect of the Zorro expansion architecture. Third, this is yet another example of Ed Lippert passing off the pedestrian quality of his products by claiming the fault of others. “We think it was C-A's intention to write some code around this problem that never got written.'' Oh bull shit Ed. Start taking some responsibility for the junk you sell. NOW —– Here's where my lawyers are chomping at the bit to sue your ass. Talking about the FAMOUS FICTICIOUS PAL PROBLEM…. “Note: Techni-Soft RAM Board, ASDG Mini-Rack and Pacific Cypress units (especially the Pacific Cypress Bus Pass-Thru Board) are prone to exhibit this problem due to their generally lengthy extension of the bus.'' My dear fellow, if ASDG mini-racks are so prone to exhibiting YOUR problem, how come we have never had any instance of an Amiga WE couldn't work with?
