- The only thing keeping from using NT RIGHT NOW in my designs is that there are
- no device drivers out for it. I can't really complain about availibility but
- the $500 for the DDK as opposed to $69 for the OS does seem a little strange.
-
- I'm dying for drivers (or even suppliers wanting to supply drivers) for NT. I
- need DSP drivers, sound board drivers, multiport serial card drivers, etc.
- As it stands, I've got to settle for OS/2 (YUCK!) because it has the drivers.
