Marion, I found this posted to MAXNET… I usually contact GMR Productions in NY for GoldenGate support (per your newsletter…). So is this news or is it just an attempt to confuse me?? Thanks, – Dave (Here's the post:) ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Subj : GoldenGate II From : Robert Davis On : Wed 13-Apr-1994 9:23a Follows is the text of two messages about the GoldenGate II bridgecard. Dr. Salamon created the GG II, but is now employed in Japan, so he has transferred ownership to a commercial organization. ============================================================== Date: Tue, 12 Apr 1994 21:07:21 -0500 Subject: GoldenGateII board going commercial Dear GoldenGateII owners, I am writing to let all of you know that the GoldenGate board project has been taken over by a company, Software Results Enterprises. All future driver updates will be handled through them. Additionally, any upgrades to the GoldenGateII board or its successors will be handled by Software Results. For more information, please contact Ethan Dicks of Software Results at "dicks@math.ohio-state.edu". Should any of you wish to contact me directly, my new email address is below. Also note that should any of you write new drivers for the GoldenGateII, you now have the possibility of making some money for your trouble!

David: I think you are confusing the Vortex GoldenGate Bridgeboard with the GoldenGate PC slot adapter, which is 2 seperate products sold by different companies. I wish one or the other would change the name so there wouldn't be any confusion, but so far no such luck. The only thing new from Vortex is their 50mHz 486SLC bridgeboard. // John (Speeding on the Information Superhighway) \X/ Mercury@ins.infonet.net
