If the patent was filed in 1985 (which is what that web page claims) then it would have expired either in 2002 or 2005 (I make no claim as to whether or not the patent would apply to the Soekris BIOS; my only point is that the patent has expired, so the whole question is likely moot). And am I the the only one who wonders how Poul-Henning Kamp gets all of the knowledge about the "double-secret" Soekris features? :-) --Ken _______________________________________________ Soekris-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech
