Some hope from the Guilemont side.
SuperDude
have drivers so CAN`T!!!!
I mailed Guilemont asking them if and when the drivers where going to
be available, this is what I got back:

final info can be given in terms of public release date.
If you require additional information or if you still have any

Too bad too as it's a real alternative to the Microsoft glut out there. In
all the time I've used it, no crashes except on experimental code...
Absolutely the most rock solid thing I ever did see...

Never had any of the Icq clones crash either. Had some development code
crash but then again, I'm running a "normal" box that isn't overclocked or
stuffed with substandard hardware either. I've seen even BEOS crash on
machines that were put together with garage sale parts...!

Nope, solid as the hover dam.
The only thing that might happen is that an single app crash but that
doesn`t affect the whole system it still stays up and running.

Just out of curiousity, are you giving up your effort on the Midiman
Delta drivers? If BeOS is going to have any sort of "afterlife" this
driver would be a big help!
But I guess the number one concern right now is whether or not there
*will* be an afterlife - i.e., Palm doesn't pull the distribution of
BeOS 5 PE and Pro.

Oh christ, now I'm going to have to do it again. Dear Steve: *PLONK*!
Following up trolls, thereby creating more troll traffic, is just as bad
as being a troll yourself.
For god's sakes, don't make me killfile any more of you guys.
Marco Nelissen
Or you could just add an option to Pineapple News to not show the
sub-thread (within the main thread) started by specific people.
That way you'd only have to killfile the trolls, and any responses
to their posts would be filtered out as well.
Steve Howie
But Johnny - I'm using TIN because Pineapple doesn't have killfiles :)

R5. Therefore Echo couldn't release the drivers. I remember Jeff
having trouble with it too.
