>What a sad idiotic moron you are!
Thank you for compliments. I am so glad to be in contact with a person of such high moral standards, capable of communication with respect and dignity...
>Ever asked yourself _why_ Elbox chose to develop the drivers they did?
>Because the documentation is easily available for free, that's why!!
>Ergo, that same reason is why everyone else is developing the same drivers. \
You know nothing about what you are writing here.
Documentation is not the point.
The pint is that cloning a driver, which is already written and complete, is nothing when you compare work and effort needed for writing a driver from the scratch.
>If you can get all the documentation off 3Com, for nothing, be my guest!
It took me two minutes to find the complete developer documentation for all 3COM 100Mbps NIC chipsets in www.3com.com.
>Elbox produced the first drivers. Great. That doesn't give them
>a patent for ALL Amiga drivers for those cards. Perhaps their cries
>of "foul" would carry more credence if they actually paid the developers
Thinking missing... you have got an error in your hardware or software?
Do you think these drivers and updates which we receive from Elbox come from the blue? Elbox is making available new drivers all the time and this proves they care for their developers!
>*THEY* ripped off, like the Picasso96 team. :(
Picasso ripped themselves off by not supporting their users. |
