Forwarded without permission from the linux-eata mailing list... ----- Forwarded message from David Stone ----- > Last week I exchanged email with the VP Sales at DPT, > Johnny Cardosi, asking about better Linux support. > With his permission, here is his response: > > > We are planning on assuming direct support of Linux in the "relative" near > term. Currently, we have an agreement with someone to create a Linux > driver for our Gen V controllers that will be introduced in late October. > They will then turn it over to us for continued support and enhancements. > We should be able to provide a stable and complete Linux solution in the Q1 > time frame. However, there is currently no hard commitment to do so within > that time frame at this time. We recognize the increased need for "full" > Linux support and we will definitly have it... it's really just a question > of when at this moment. > Sorry I cant be any more certain about dates, but we are introducing > several new products over the next few months and at this time they are our > focus. We will make an email announcement when Linux support changes. > Please visit our web site and sign up for "auto notify" in the var area to > receive this information and other press and tech news in the future. > > Thanks for your business and support > > Johnny Cardosi > VP Sales ----- End forwarded message ----- -- V Johann Visagie | Email: wjv@CityIP.co.za | Tel: +27 21 419-7878 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
