[comp.unix.xenix] nice words about Digiboard

chip@vector.Dallas.TX.US (Chip Rosenthal) (06/07/89)

A few weeks back, I mentioned that I had found some bugs in the XENIX 386
drivers for Digiboard's COMx/i serial card.  At that time I had just
referred the problem to Digiboard, and was hoping that they would actually
do something about it.  However, given past experiences with other vendors
and the fact that this board is superceded by their COMx/e series, I wasn't
too optimistic.

Well...turns out my fretting was for naught.  I am currently running a
test-version of their drivers, and everything is running like a champ.
The fact that they actually worked on this problem and got me a running
driver in about two weeks time floored me.

But it gets even more amazing from here.  These folks don't charge any
sort of support fees.  As I mentioned in my original posting, they not
only provide a BBS number for you to download the latest version of
drivers, but they also provide detailed technical information on the
card.

So, chalk me up as one happy camper.

I agree.  They have been VERY helpful.  They also publish their
their full product/price lists and technical notes on their BBS
at 1(612)922-5604 (no parity).  Digi is a MODEL supplier.
