Hi They definitely showed up long enough this week to ship out my stuff and to answer a couple of emails. They mentioned that the serial disk mount is now "on hold".
There's obviously some work going on. I suspect that they are simply a bit swamped at this point. I have not seen any replies to my questions about CF handling in the newer 4501 bios. That's been a while back as well. One thing I am fairly sure of. They will get to all the bugs and stomp them. It's just a matter of when. For those of us with project deadlines it's always about the when .... Bob On Aug 24, 2007, at 1:50 AM, Jeffrey W.
