Mintz) Newsgroups: comp.unix.sysv386 Subject: Specialix Review Message-ID: <63@mq.UUCP> Date: 10 Sep 90 19:31:31 GMT Organization: Micro-Quick Systems, Inc. Lines: 22 It came to my attention that my follow-up to the Specialix review was truncated. (Apparently some newsreaders truncated the article at the inappropriately placed "--" near the bottom). Here's the last paragraph: We tend to use Specialix almost exclusively for anything more than 8 ports. Once the physical problem with the TA8s is solved, it is an excellent product. It is a UK-based company, but they also have a (small) office in Silicon Valley (with REAL technical people). They have been extremely helpful and supportive when we had a hardware failure at a system we were installing in NY (they FedExed a replacement for a defective cable to New York at 3:00 PM Friday!). I have heard that they now have a host adapter that will support up to 64 ports. I assume from conversations of two months ago that it is available for the EISA bus as well. -- < Alan H.
