RE: Tempest Multigame: Problem?

Actually I was hoping he would say
"here's one I wrote, go ahead and use it"

I know my company is no where near as large as microsoft, but a lot of
people move around from product to product and over time you get to know who
is the expert in each field. Unfortunatly, we don't write any software that
deals with any of the ports, so when I asked our windows experts, they
didn't have a clue (um, email microsoft).

Didn't mean to ruffle any feathers, just hoped maybe there was some simple
answer.

ps. so who on here is the expert on serial interfaces? (building external
hardware)

Having never met Jeff personally (or maybe I have and forgot), but he
seems a pretty smart guy to me. I read his email as a bit of 'tongue
in cheek' about device drivers. A joke in response to the "Heyyyyy I
resemble that remark" joke. I don't really believe he thinks you know
everyone at Microsoft, or how to write drivers simply because you work
there, my bet is he forgot a smiley.

(Jeff, you can correct me if I'm wrong.)
