It is, kinda. TBS said they would look into writing a driver, but time constraints from other projects would be an issue. Everything else is true, though.

In the OS/2 market, releasing a product that competes with another product is suicide. -- Remove "nospam_" from my email address when replying Timur "too sexy for my code" Tabi, timur@tabi.org Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
