[net.periphs] pertec support

mark (05/20/83)

yesterday i call pertec to try to get some help making a pair of their
floppy drives shugart compatible (i have a list of shugart jumper options
needed by my controller, and no other information).  when i finally reached
someone who knew about such things, i learned that pertec now just makes
the drives; everything else is handled by their distributer, ibex.
when i called ibex i was told very definitly that they sell drives, parts
and manuals, period.  no help over the phone except for buying things.

i had the impression that one could sweet-talk a pertec engineer into giving
advice, but at the time i called there was no-one about who knew what i needed
to know anyway.
