        I too am using the HSS08 from APT Technology.  I am rather
pleased with it.  I am currently using APT's drivers for release 3.2
based 386 Unixen, with fairly good success.

        I have been in contact with APT's customer support, and I can
say they are very good, and very responsive.  Case in point, I sent a
bit of e-mail about a problem I had while installing the driver, and the
following afternoon I received a phone call requesting more info.  After
providing them with all the needed info, they were able to provide
several ideas to try.  But before I even had a chance to try them, I
received another call saying that they had located the problem, and told
me how to fix it.  This second call occurred after normal business
hours.  That's what I would call service!

	Just a satisified customer.
