It still will never catch on.  If you plan to market your case, you need to
stay with the link port.  If you had DBA and all this other stuff it would
make installing it harder, and it would mean the user had to be super
careful with the stuff.

One point is that the link port can go a whole lot faster than 2k.  The
things that hold back the speed are the OS, memory, and the way the
processor handles interrupts/I/O...  DBA wouldn't be much faster than the
link port.  Remebmber that Mel is working on reliable 20kbps transfers so
you should just stay with the link port...
