CorelSCSI Pro has been repackaged as two products. The DOS, OS/2, and Windows portion has become (with many enhancements added) CorelSCSI version 2.0. The Netware Portion as advertising already states has been bundled with RAID to form a product called Network Manager. The upgrade price from CorelSCSI version 1.0-1.2b to CorelSCSI version is $79. We feel that this is a just and fair price based on the amount of power and flexibility that CorelSCSI offers to new and upgrading users. There have been some questions raised as to why the upgrade is so expensive. With this explanation I hope questions have been put to rest….If not, well then that what I'm here for <grin>. Laszlo p.s. I will be assigned Compuserve duties (geez, it almost makes it sound like work…grin) for the next little while. I hope that I will be of service to all.

You should probably use the CIS utility to put your own name up there instead of Bryan's! The upgrade's all well and good, but as of today Corel wouldn't even take an order for it!

Jack, If you read the posted apology you will understand the tardiness of my response. I was talking with management for CS yesterday. They are taking order @ 1-800-836-7274. As for a unique identity, I finally have my own name and account. <grin>….The dreaded paper trail slowed it down….Thanks for the info though. Laszlo

Well, glad to see you coming on as you, but as of last Thursday the number you gave me refused to take orders for SCSI 2.0 and flatly stated that no orders would be accepted for it until at least next week. Not a great coordinated effort with marketing again (you all trying to emulate Draw4's inglorious record?). Full page ads in PC WEEK, INFOWORLD, now BYTE and who knows where else, and the number tells folks they won't even take backorders…. Hopefully this all will be straightened out by Monday when everybody struggles back from Comdex. Of course, since COMDEX had 175,000 registrants for at least a short period, some people may still be trying to get out of Vegas when the NEXT Comdex rolls around….
