I'd certainly say so! (Unless CT can somehow prove that you used privileged proprietary information, in which case your posting is a big no-no, because you gave away the info to the world.) I'd say it's practically spelled out in the .h files and schematics anyway; it's just that nobody ever *knew* it would really work. >What will all this do to the future market for the overpriced $350.00 SCSI >board from IDT? Although I like the drive select hack, and I will investigate the idea, it doesn't decrease my craving for SCSI at all. And I'd gladly pay more than $350 for the SCSI board if it really existed and had software support for some things I want to use it for. -- -=] Ford [=- "The number of Unix installations (In Real Life: Mike Ditto) has grown to 10, with more expected." ford@kenobi.cts.com - The Unix Programmer's Manual, ...!sdcsvax!crash!elgar!ford 2nd Edition, June, 1972. ditto@cbmvax.commodore.com
