GG II: Is this official?
3 messages in this thread
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,

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.

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

Allow me to correct the contact information given by David…
<dicks@math.ohio-state.edu> is a valid account for me, but it's not my
primary account. Until recently, it was my most reliable, fastest
response-time account. As my other connections have been upgraded, this is
no longer the case.
I have set up various mailboxes on my own node to handle GoldenGateII
traffic. Please use them, as it will simplify *greatly* the task of
keeping up with correspondence…
<erd@kumiss.infinet.com> My primary point of contact. I check it often.

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.
