From ISC support's perspective, it appears most users
of IDE controllers have no problems with Interactive
Unix V2.2. For users who are experiencing the timing
problems documented by Tom, the quote is correct - V2.2.1,
shipping in November, will include code changes to fix
the problem. There is no fix available at this time
(contrary to the note from the ISC European office).
