Roger,

Your message did not hit home at all. I take no offense to your message.

You miss the point or choose to avoid the real issues and questions.

This isn't about Cloud-9 owning the market. I am not going to explain myself again to you. For someone who claims to be brilliant you sure are not getting it.

I have no fear of your products that you create. You clearly design to a different level of expectations than I do. The 6551(ACIA) compared to a 16550(ACE) is comical in comparison. You can create whatever product you would like, just don't over sell it and say that it is going to perform beyond it's capabilities. In your app all will be well and good. Use the interface outside of that and the 6551 will fall flat on it's face, just like all of the other 6551s that have come before yours. Write a special driver for NitrOS-9 and all will be well until some other devices comes in and disrupts your timing. Show us your skills in NitrOS-9. It can be done.

Again, you invented nothing. The schematics are up on A7's web site. The RS232 pak is well documented as well. You integrated, big difference.

You continue to avoid, skirt the issues and blow smoke.

Regards,

Mark
Cloud-9

To Mark and Boisy,

I'm going to say a few words that are going to hit home.  No offense, 
and no hard feelings?

My friends, you can't have it all.  The CoCo "market" doesn't belong 
only to two guys.

I need something better than DriveWire.  I need a system that can 
bring all possible resources into the CoCo over a bluetooth link or 
cable from a nearby "PC" (Windows, Linux, etc).  I don't want it next 
year from somebody else.  I want it right now.

I understand that the idea could possibly kill a bunch of hardware 
gadgets out there, but just because you invent new hardware doesn't 
mean my purpose isn't to solve the problem with older original 
hardware becoming harder to find.

I'm a problem solver, not a problem starter.  And I'm tired of the 
negative comments.

I realize that you're not going to like the CoCoNet venture, and 
you're not going to like the other products I'm going to 
produce.  I'm ok with this.

So be it.

Roger Taylor
