|
|---|
| 26 | These Microsoft people have been very helpful and supportive of
|
|---|
| 27 | the development of Samba over some years.
|
|---|
| 28 |
|
|---|
| 29 | Lee very kindly supplied me with a copy of the X/Open SMB
|
|---|
| 30 | specs. These have been invaluable in getting the details of the
|
|---|
| 31 | implementation right. They will become even more important as we move
|
|---|
| 32 | towards a Lanman 2.1 compliant server. Lee has provided very
|
|---|
| 33 | useful advice on several aspects of the server.
|
|---|
| 34 | Lee has also provided me with copies of Windows NTAS 3.1, Visual C
|
|---|
| 35 | and a developers CD-ROM. Being able to run NT at home is a
|
|---|
| 36 | great help.
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | Charles has helped out in numerous ways with the provision of SMB
|
|---|
| 39 | specifications and helpful advice. He has been following the
|
|---|
| 40 | discussion of Samba on the mailing list and has stepped in
|
|---|
| 41 | regularly to clarify points and to offer help.
|
|---|
| 42 |
|
|---|
| 43 | Dan has put me in touch with NT developers to help sort out bugs and
|
|---|
| 44 | compatability issues. He has also supplied me with a copy of the
|
|---|
| 45 | NT browsing spec, which will help a lot in the development of the
|
|---|
| 46 | Samba browser code.
|
|---|
| 47 |
|
|---|
| 48 | Paul was responsible for Microsoft paying my flight to Seattle for the
|
|---|
| 49 | first CIFS conference (see http://samba.org/cifs) and has been
|
|---|
| 50 | generally helpful and cooperative as the SMB community moves towards
|
|---|
| 51 | an Internet-ready specification. Isaac has regularly provided help on
|
|---|
| 52 | the behaviour of NT networks.

| 54 | Bruce Perens (bruce@pixar.com)
|
|---|
| 55 |
|
|---|
| 56 | In appreciation of his effort on Samba we have sent Andrew copies of
|
|---|
| 57 | various Pixar computer-graphics software products. Pixar is best known
|
|---|
| 58 | for its "Renderman" product, the 3-D renderer used by ILM to make special
|
|---|
| 59 | effects for "Terminator II" and "Jurassic Park". We won the first Oscar
|
|---|
| 60 | given to a computer graphic animated feature for our short film "Tin Toy".
|
|---|
| 61 | Our retail products "Typestry" and "Showplace", incorporate the same
|
|---|
| 62 | renderer used on the films, and are available on Windows and the
|
|---|
| 63 | Macintosh.

|

|
|---|
| 69 | Henry sent me a M202 ethernet print server, making my little lan
|
|---|
| 70 | one of the few home networks to have it's own print server!

|
|---|
| 75 | area network devices used in the mainframe communication networks. In
|
|---|
| 76 | August 1991 Microplex introduced its first LAN product, the M200 print
|

|
|---|
| 82 | Tom sent me two 16 bit SMC ethernet cards to replace my ancient 8
|
|---|
| 83 | bit ones. The performance is much better!

|
|---|
| 94 |
|
|---|
| 95 | Steve sent me 16Mb of ram so that I could install/test
|
|---|
| 96 | NT3.5. I previous had only 8Mb ram in my test machine, which
|
|---|
| 97 | wasn't enough to install a properly functioning copy of
|
|---|
| 98 | NTAS. Being able to directly test NT3.5 allowed me to solve
|
|---|
| 99 | several long standing NT<->Samba problems. Thanks Steve!

| 103 | Aquasoft are a specialist consulting company whose Samba-using
|
|---|
| 104 | customers span the world.
|
|---|
| 105 |
|
|---|
| 106 | Aquasoft have been avid supporters of the Samba project. As a
|
|---|
| 107 | token of appreciation Aquasoft have donated a 486DX2/66 PC with
|
|---|
| 108 | a 540MB EIDE drive and 20MB RAM.
|
|---|
| 109 |
|
|---|
| 110 | John has helped to isolate quite a few little glitches over time
|
|---|
| 111 | and has managed to implement some very interesting installations
|
|---|
| 112 | of Samba.
|
|---|
| 113 |
|
|---|
| 114 | The donation of the new PC will make it possible to more fully
|
|---|
| 115 | diagnose and observe the behaviour of Samba in conjuction with
|
|---|
| 116 | other SMB protocol utilising systems.

| 122 | Tim and Steve from IBM organised a copy of the OS/2 developers
|
|---|
| 123 | connection CD set for me, and gave lots of help in getting
|
|---|
| 124 | OS/2 Warp installed. I hope this will allow me to finally fix
|
|---|
| 125 | up those annoying OS/2 related Samba bugs that I have been
|

| 126 | receiving reports of.

| 130 | Keith from NEC in England very generously supplied a PC to
|
|---|
| 131 | Luke Leighton to help with his nmbd development work. At the
|
|---|
| 132 | same time Keith offered to help me with some new hardware, and
|
|---|
| 133 | he sent me a pentium motherboard with 32MB of ram
|
|---|
| 134 | onboard. This was very helpful as it allowed me to upgrade
|
|---|
| 135 | my aging server to be a very powerful system. Thanks!
