- Even more than that, lets get organized and start bugging these vendors
- directly. At least in the points made so far, the vendor had a newer product
- that they claimed was supported under A/UX. I recently got an SE/30 Ethernet
- card from Dayna, that happens to use the new SONIC chipset, hence the old
- SE/30 A/UX drivers don't work with the card. And calls to Dayna have yet
- to produce a solution. Lets light some fires under these vendors! Anyone
- out there listening with a DaynaPort (or just want to help out), please call
- Dayna and request they get some new A/UX drivers out for SONIC version cards.
- You never know, the next machine/ethernet card you get might be one...
-
- Dayna's customer service #: (801)531-0600 8am - 5pm MST
-
- In return, I'll call DayStar and complain about the lack of PowerCard support.
