I hope I'm not considered a protagonist. I posted and then saw this email.

I should point out that I have no hard feelings towards Roger and wish him
well. He's done a lot of good for the Coco community and I thank him for it. The
only reason I've never bought his drivepak since I always got the opinion that he
had a large backlog of orders and didn't want my order to delay others from getting
one. The same holds true for his version of drivewire. (I know it's not exactly the
same but I don't remember what he called it)

I don't know enough about either to comment but I understand that his drivepak works
closely and with with his version of drivewire. It's also not my intention to be critical
of his products. I just wanted to point out that one of the features of the SuperIDE that I
make frequent use of is the IDE interface and am kind of sad that no one ever seems to mention
it!
