Bob,
	I think you've missed a very important point.

	One cannot look at this situation and ask: Is the glass half empty
or half full. The fact is, the glass *isn't* full.

	Specifically, saying that *your* C Ltd products work well together
is simply the EXPECTED case. Fred reporting that  the EXPECTED case is not
always acheived carries  significantly  more  weight  than your two boards
working together. 

	To put  it  another way,  if  you  had just paid for two expansion
products and found they  didn't work  for (no matter what you or the manu-
facturer could do)  would  it  make  you feel any better if your next door
neighbor had the same hardware and it worked fine?

	I know that ASDG customers didn't pay their money to take a chance
that their hardware would work together. Other full spec Zorro manufactur-
ers similarly designed their products to work in *every* case, not just on
certain Amiga, but every Amiga.
