- "real soon now"? I've heard that time and time before. If they
- wouldn't even give a date, this can mean several months. Because, if
- he can't say a date, the product is probably not even ready yet. The
- times for starting "mass" production and marketing are well known. The
- only uncertainty is development.
-
- What I would like to know is: Will there also be a WarpEngine 040
- again and will the SCSI hostadapter of the new WEs be _fully_
- compatible with the old one? (i. e. will the NetBSD driver still
- work?)
-
- I would prefer such a machine to a CS60/50, since the cyberscsi is not
- yet supported by NetBSD and neither is the 68060. If they had been
- available in the previous months, I would be owner of a WE.
