[re: Future Domain apathy]
I don't mean to sound too negative, but me schedule is already more than
full enough without going out of my way to support a company's products
who by all appearances could care less about it. I'd just as soon the
sales go to someone more responsive like Buslogic, who BTW have shown
themselves to be more willing to try and correct the problems I reported
earlier. I've been contacted by no fewer than 4 people at Buslogic since
I sent out my posting and, compared with the total apathy at Future Domain,
it's a refreshing difference in corporate style.
I thought I would echo Jordan's comments. About a year and a half
ago, I needed to update the NetBSD BusLogic driver, and BusLogic was
gracious and immensely helpful -- very open and friendly. I had no
problems getting the detailed technical documentation I needed. This
is why I always push BusLogic products when anyone asks which SCSI
controller to buy (besides they fact that they just make good stuff).
