Being Dave's roommate, I feel I should comment on his comments. First, the Supra wasn't any slower than the Microbotics, they both got about 140k/s. Second, it worked fine for about a year and a half before it started giving random errors. At that point I decided it was time for an Amiga 2000 and a DMA controller with an 80Meg drive. Now I get ~650k/s. Yeah! It was also one of the original Supras, although I had aquired the newer software. > > /'''''\ > | o o | Dave Williams dawill@hubcap.clemson.edu > | m | PeopleLink: SillyDave > | \___/ | 'You think I'd really tell you what I'm up to?' > \__U__/ "Hah!

We haven't figured out how to get the mailer to tack on a signature yet. Of course, Dave's going to kill me now. :-) Rich Champeaux (rchampe@hubcap.clemson.edu)
