Tom - 

I don't think that accusing Commodore and Commodore employees who voluntarily
participate on this newsgroup of lying really accomplishes anything, especially
since I think you misunderstood the topic of the thread.

I don't recall anything being said as to whether the problem being discussed
existed existed on the 2090 or 2090a controllers (I may be wrong on this).
My recollection was that this discussion was specific to problems with the
A2091 controller (I don't believe there is an A2091a controller).  In that 
regard problems with the 2090a were not germane to the specific topic, and
comments about the 2091 shouldn't be extended to the 2090a.
