It seems that the landlord didn't consider flooding when it rained to be a problem because whenever the landlord came by to inspect the reported problem it wasn't raining and so it wasn't flooded. DKB considered that an adequate reason to not pay the rent (after many months of putting up with it waiting for something to be done). DKB is no longer at that place of business. The phone lines have been rerouted to an answering machine that he doesn't get time to access very often, his inventory and equipment has been rerouted to his house where it has been forced into a space only so large as to prevent divorce and small enough to make useful work something of a challenge. The Inferno card has been delayed due to inadequate resistors (as I recall) being placed on the output causing massive blooming problems due to the monitor being significantly (dangerously) overdriven. Dean is currently kicking himself quite hard for this. He has told me that the board will have to be respun as a result and he can't do that until he can find the right stuff in the right boxes. Last I heard, this was his status. I don't think too many people want that Inferno card more than I do, so I am trying to stay on top of it. I asked him to post this information to the net and he didn't seem to get around to it. Dean, if you are mad at me, don't be. Your customers needed to know most, if not all, of this. -- Skipper Smith Somerset Design Center 6300 Bridgepoint Pkwy Bldg 3 Austin, TX, 78730 USA Better data paths for better living Tequila Design Team All opinions are my own and not necessarily those of my employer
