The answer is quite simple. The DMA driver was very new at the time of the prerelease. Naturally, new software is risky to release. Since we know the DMA issue is kind of sensitive, we wanted to be absolutely sure that there is no bug in a1ide.device. Otherwise, all those nice people like you would jump to conclusion and shout "The Articia S is buggy" all over the place, regardless of whether it's a software error or not. People like you would not care, nor ask.
Therefore, we decided not to release the DMA driver. It's as simple as that, and I think it's a sensible approach.
Happy flaming. |
