Well, there is apperently no more need to look for an alternative, as Olivetti and Specialix have worked out a solution. This solution involves a replacement board, specially designed for the Olivetti M380. So when you order a Specialix SI-8 host adaptor, make it very clear that you will be running it on an Olivetti, or you will get the wrong board. -- --------------------+----------------------+----------------------------------- Pim Zandbergen | phone: +31 70 542302 | CTI Software BV pim@ctisbv.UUCP | fax : +31 70 512837 | Laan Copes van Cattenburch 70 ...!uunet!mcvax!hp4nl!ctisbv!pim | 2585 GD The Hague, The Netherlands
