It's actually not writing the code that the problem, it's the testing.... Intel's code is pretty old so it have been though a LOT of testing with a lot of both old and new SATA devices.... So Mouse, I don't doubt that you can write good code, but I can't wait for the debugging and testing.... > There are perverse incentives operating.

Hey Mouse, send my a email directly with your skills, maybe I have other things we could talk about, since my other software guy left suddenly I have some needs.....
