What are you refering to by crippled clones?
In the case of the Ram-4-GS, you are still the
only person who even claimed to have a problem.

: CFFA - Rich Dreher
: 8-Bit Baby - Axel Muhr
: Lance GS - ///SHH Systeme
: MicroDrive Turbo - ///SHH Systeme
: Uther Card - a2RetroSystems
: NadaNet - Michael J. Mahon
: PS/2 Mouse Adapter - VintageWare
: IIGS to SCART Adapter - VintageWare
: ProDOS ROMDrive - Terrence J. Boldt
: Semi-Virtual Diskette - Eric Rothfus

Hmmm, I acknowledge all of these,
but I don't see you there.

:
: Ed Eastman

Ed and I have offered each other assistance in
our endeavors. BTW, I use DiskMaker8 everyday.

: Bryan Parkoff

Bryan and I, too, have worked together.

: Tony Diaz

I respect Tony's work, and I've given out nothing.
And I admit that was pretty dumb to offer his work
to the CSA2 general public, but, I won't apologize
to you. I would to him.

: Glenn Jones

Glenn and I have worked together, and he has spawned
the beginning of the program I am planning to release.
He just didn't have the time to continue work on it,
so, I found another who is doing a great job.

: J

I believe I have emailed in private with J, but, then
again, there could be more than one 'J' around. Just
'J' is pretty generic.

I'm not scoffing at them, I'm scoffing at you.
You seem to be the only one with a bug up his ass.

I apologize wholeheartedly to those I missed.
