Serves 'em $#%%^_at_& right. Emulex's support was (is) of the most suckful sort.
I would never recommend any of their products to anybody (forget about getting
any kind of support or end-of-life info from these #&_at_*^$* people).

They used to make decent PeeCee video boards.

Ohhhh, damn-- don't get me started . . . .
