C Ltd., in my opinion, was not a good company to do business with even when they were CardCo, producing half-baked peripherals for the C64. They were not a good company to do business with when they were C Ltd., producing half-baked peripherals for the Amiga. They were not a good company to do business with when they became 'Linden Labs doing business as C Ltd.', though by that time they had come out with a fairly decent, if unsupported (by them), non-DMA HD controller. They are most certainly not a good company to do business with now that they have gone belly-up. Never fear though.. C Ltd. will be back, under some other name, spreading misinformation about any peripherals that they don't happen to make, and burning a lot of folks once more. It just remains to be seen what name of the bad penny is when it shows up again. Ptui! Disclaimer: The above is my considered opinion only, based upon the shoddy treatment received by several friends by said companies. -larry -- "Cavett Emptor - Let the talk show host beware!" - Evan Marcus +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | // Larry Phillips | | \X/ lphillips@lpami.wimsey.bc.ca -or- uunet!van-bc!lpami!lphillips | | COMPUSERVE: 76703,4322 -or- 76703.4322@compuserve.com | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
