Continued from previous message…. We have never had any instance where multiple Zorro boards could not work perfectly well together. In fact, the only problem that's every been sighted has been in getting two ASDG memory boards to work when placed after one of your disk controlers? (Which magically happens to squash accesses to the first megabyte of memory on our boards). Also, (and I resist here the temptation to start using epithets), the unbuffered trace lengths (buffers Ed, look them up in a dictionary) of the Mini-Racks represent only a fraction (a very small one in fact) of the trace lengths YOUR products incur by not buffering at all. Also, the Mini-Rack-D buffers all Zorro signals about a quarter inch after entering the box. Since all ASDG boards, themselves buffer all Zorro signals within a quarter of an inch after entering the board, the Mini-Rack-C adds a whopping half inch. YOU use up more than this in just wasted trace length due to inferior trace routing. Very simply, either publish a retraction or face court (and Ed, I hear you are very well acquianted with courts). You have the motive, you have the false information, and it can be proved that you knew you were mistaken when you wrote your “Technical Notification'' since as a professional it would be negligence to NOT have known you were lying. One more thing Eddy, why do you keep publishing Urgent Technical Notifications? These are the second and third ones I've received. Don't tell me your products have mistakes? Oh yes, I forgot, your products work perfectly. It is the Amiga that has mistakes. And talk about customer service. Sure you publish self-help-to-recover-fromC-Ltds-mistakes. But wouldn't it be better if your designed better products in the first place? Perry S. Kivolowitz
