Knowing the interface they use could save competitors much work. FYI, Digi is in both business's, their product without the driver that loads into the board for execution by the 80188 would be worth little or nothing and this is the part they are trying to protect. I've no affiliation with DigiBoard or BSDI other than a very satisfied customer of both companies. -michael
