Should I check for restrictions on chipset temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure as well?
Be realistic Anthony - you know full well that if an item is not listed, its not supported. You know this because you use Windows (NT to be exact) for many, many years. Don't play symantics.
Again - I doubt that that perticulare Adaptec WITH the modifide code is
listed. Now I'll bet an untouched Adaptec is.
Nothing on the list says either way.
If' it's not listed - it's not supported - isnt that what MS drills into its user base?
The PC is NOT the issue. The modified Adaptec IS.
FreeBSD is the target, not the controller.
No - not worthless - NOT SUPPORTED. Just like the HCL that MS puts out.
There are lots of configurations unsupported by Microsoft that will still run Windows without problems.
This isnt the argument - the argument is what I defined it as - and yet again, you want to squirm your way out of it with symantical crap. You simply can't argue the fact one way and have it not work the other.
Stop turning shit around when you get pinned up against a wall. As I mentioned, I presented you with the reality from an MS point of view. You need to realize that you need to retire this whole thread. BTW - as Ted asked, why are you NOT persuing this so rabbidly with Mandrake?Another thing to understand, most of the HP added code is related to
SNMP. That's what HP/Compaq does. Now, you also need to realize that the
drivers under NT talk to HAL (Hardware Abstration Layer) which happenes
to be far more forgiving of altered code then something under Unix where
the driver talks directly to the hardware.
Are you saying that Windows NT has a superior design?
Perhaps your a secret agent for Linux?
