Warning : Potential Rip-Off !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have you had any contact with Graphics Development Laboratories 2832 Ninth Street Berkeley CA. 94710 (415) 644-3551 A Prof. at Oregon State University with the Dept. of Forest Science tried to purchase one of their graphics boards for S100 bus and has been having a very difficult time. Unfortunately he sent them a check for about $2000 after reviewing their literature, ads in BYTE, and other similar products. They acknowledge having got the $$ in September of '84. However they have not produced any equipment, graphics board, or refund. He has called them numerous times trying to get some satisfaction. Alas over the phone they continually give him dead end responses. If any of you have any suggestions for how to deal with this company, I'd appreciate the suggestions, which I will pass on to my friend at OSU. Also I highly suggest that if you are connsidering dealing with this company that you also consider throwing your money down a hole first. You may get better results. All Responses welcome, especially from people in the Berkeley area, or from anyone associated with this company. I will quickly post any results that may serve to clear the badly tarnished reputation of GDL. -Ken Bronstein hp-pcd!ken (503) 757-2000 X4133
