It looked like he wrote a driver and : released it. : Yes, Steve released a driver. : I don't see what the connection is between Steve's driver and your driver. : Are the two connected somehow? Steve did not think enough of your influence : on his project to even include your name -anywhere- in the code. : I did not influence Steve or his driver in the slightest. There is no connection between my driver and Steve's, except that they are both QIC-40/80...

The original poster had a valid point. He : was sick to death of you foaming at the mouth about your stupid 'unseem piece : of software' and wanted to know if anyone else had been working on it for real. : Fine.... if you would like to read this interpetation into a question which says: Hey has anybody seem the tape driver that jm promised, but can't seem to deliver? Fine... I won't argue with you. : -Your- answer was 'Perhaps I should make a liar out of you.' -The- answer was : 'yes' someone else did do it and here is where it is. : The answer was what I gave. : :: [non-issue] :: : If you did I would be intrested to hear -this- story. : Fine email me.. I'll put you on the mailing list. : No one ever said a QIC driver would never be released ... they just said that : -your- QIC driver would never be released. Based on simple emperical : observation I am happy Steve put out what he did. : I am as happy as you that Steve put out the driver... Please make a technical point next time... Because I am really getting tired of people wasting my time... with trivia... : I will. The sun is finally warming the air, I have a QIC driver now, and I am : going to give you an honored place in my kill file today. What could be better? : promises, promises..... -- Jesus Monroy Jr jmonroy@netcom.com Zebra Research /386BSD/device-drivers /fd /qic /clock /documentation ___________________________________________________________________________
