Three weeks ago, I thought I was one day from signing the papers. Then some problems came up. Sigh. *nothing* is ever as simple as you think it is. I tend not to tell you about things until they are done, or at least at a point such that I can commit times and dates. It prevents frustration on your behalf, and on mine. So, the official statement: We are working on more than one UNIX solution. No promises. I will, as always, let you know what these will be. They will not impact any of the other efforts in progress. BTW - all boards from this run have been shipped to those that have ordered them. We have (I think) 1 board left over at this point. We now have over 100 PCB's out! I never thought that there would be so much interest! Thanks to all of you, and we look forward to some interesting projects in the next few months... -- Dave Rand {pyramid|hoptoad|sun|vsi1}!daver!dlr Internet: dlr@daver.bungi.com
