No kidding! While I thoroughly enjoy reading each and every one of them, here is a summary for all those who want to know. * I had surgery on both my feet, which put me on my kister for few weeks. * Prior to that my wife had a horribly difficult pregnancy. * My 8th child Kaily Alianna shapiro was born healthy and my wife is recovering from most of the damage. * DPT is very eager to have me complete the work. I will get all the support I need from them.BOOTDEV * I am eager to complete these drivers. * I am tentatively scheduled to be in Florida next week to work on these drivers. An Alpha version will be available by EOM April. * DPTMGR (RAID Utilities for DPT controllers) will follow shortly after. * We are not sure yet what is the exact form this code will take. Some complications may force binary-only on certain pieces. At least for a while. * I will continue to support these products and promise to do a better job at respongding and solving problems. * My employer is not involved in any way shape or form in any of this, except for some mildly amused interest and tolerance of my behavior. So, please do NOT call MindSpring for DPT questions, only to sign up, etc. * When something is publishable, it will be posted in http:/simon-shapiro.org, and or at my FTP server at the same place. Hope this helps y'll... -- Sincerely, Simon Shapiro Research Fellow ShapiroS@MindSpring.com MindSpring Enterprises, Inc. 404.815.0770 ext. 2057 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
