Anyone interested in talking to them about this? It's a portable Diamond-Rio like procuct with a USB interface to a PC that can rip music CDs and store up to 80 CDs' worth of MP3s. Sounds cool, but only Windows 98 supported so far... (I did not offer to provide Linux development support- I'm not a developer. I asked if they were willing to work with Linux developers) ---------------------- Forwarded by Paul Newman/NewBroadStreet/PowerGen on 30/03/2000 12:07 --------------------------- Please respond to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Paul Newman cc: Subject: Dear Mr. Newman, ... We are told by the Compaq designers that Linux efforts have been completed and are only waiting for their Legal Department to OK. So: you should soon be able to use Linux with the PJB 100. I'm sure everyone involved appreciates your offer to provide Linux development support; maybe in the future additional work will be needed and this offer could be re-opened at that time. Please feel free to call us if you have further issues to discuss. I'll move your address to our "Linux Requestors" file.
