Just to make public what I've been responding with in private; ICP have a
driver close to being ready. I need to get some more of my hardware out
of storage and get back to them on a couple of issues, but look for
something shortly. They've been responding to ongoing customer demand,
which is just the way it should work.
Thanks everyone for keeping this up; as the slow link in the chain I hope
to get moving on this very shortly.
Regards,
Mike

... every activity meets with opposition, everyone who acts has his
rivals and unfortunately opponents also. But not because people want
to be opponents, rather because the tasks and relationships force
people to take different points of view. [Dr. Fritz Todt]
