Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] To Paul about BDI-Live boot.img

Hi Paul,
When they distributed version 1.0 of their board (800Mhz) I found Linux
drivers on their site. (I might still have them but they are RedHat
version binaries) After their next version tookoff and started making
money they removed support for Linux altogether and expanded their Windows
and Windows gaming support area... Sheesh!

I put in several requests by email to them and also to tech support Queue
on their site but received no responses at all. I tried to look for info
on Licensing but again Nothing. Maybe you have some better sources and
contacts??? I sure hope so. :)

I'll checkout the link you gave me and get back with you. Is there an
email address I can write you directly that doesnt bounce mail?
(I did notice it was an anti-spamm email address but CCed anyway.)

Thanks for your help.
Vince
