Tony, you need to put pressure on the manufacturer of the PRISM 2.5 cards to
get the firmware problem with TC corrected. If you don't then both Dan and
I are holding some fairly crippled hardware we bought from you in good
faith. This is a serious issue both for Dan, I and your reputation. You
need to clear this problem forthwith.
Just my opinion,
Norm
