I don't want to buy an AHA2942, it's too expensive for me : >(about DEM 400 for a BIOS version). : I think what's being said here about Wandtek is misleading. True, they are under : (chapter 11?) bankruptcy protection and are reorganizing. But I have dealt with them : recently and found excellent technical support. : Unfortunatelty, their web server got the axe. : Rexon did move halfway across the U.S., so their old phone numbers no longer work. : This probably started rumors about them disappearing. My question is: So does Rexon own Wangtek? I believe the original post talked about Wangtek, then Wangdat, then mentioned that Rexon owned Wangdat, and gave the Rexon phone/fax numbers, etc.. I need the Wangtek numbers, so if Rexon *does* own Wangtek, that means I need to call the numbers below, right? Mike Leiter : New numbers: sales: 1-800-4BACKUP : faxback: 303-776-1085 : tech support: 1-800-344-4463 : main #: 303-682-3700 : (I am not associated with Wangtek or Rexon in any way.)
