- I just received my Win32 SDK CDROM the other night, and I
- have a few device support questions:
-
- (a) My system uses an Always Technology SCSI board. When will this be supported?
-
- (b) My CDROM is actually part of my Soundblaster Pro MM upgrade kit. The Win32 SDK
- setup obviously doesn't recognize this because it looks on the SCSI board
- (whihc it can;t find on my machine anyway, see (a) ) for the CDROM. Since
- Win32 and Win/NT support the Soundblaster board itself, I assume that it
- will, at some point in the future, support the CDROM as well. Is this true?
-
- Anyone that can answer these questions will get my undying graditude. (Well,
- a hardy "Thank You!" at any rate.)
-
- There is an interesting point here: there is *no one* on the MS phone lines
- who can answer this question. As a matter of fact, after being routed around on
- the phone for 45+ minutes, I was flatly told that they would *refuse* to answer
- this question, as all support for Win32 and Win/NT was being done through
- CompuServe. Is anyone else annoyed at this policy?
