Hi Tim & Group,

I have another update to this situation.  But not good
news I'm afraid.  After several emails over the past
two months, culminating in an email to stephan wilhelm
stating I would proceed with legal action if he did
not correct the damaged audio card and buggy software
he sent me,  which he blatantly mis represented, he
has finally replied.  Unfortunately as of yet he still
refused to acknowledge there is a problem at all.  His
reply in essence blames me for the fact the audio
board wasn't in working condition before he sent it to
me.  He also blames me for the fact that the software
is buggy, only partly translated, and the
documentation being incomplete and over 90%
untranslated.  All things he conviently "forgot" to
tell me before he had my money in hand.

In all honesty, I dont like airing this laundry in
public but I have little choice.  I've been trying to
sort this out in private for *MONTHS* to no avail. 
But thats not the end of it.  What I bought was what
he claimed was the last unsold Startrack audio card
(now I know why it went unsold!),  yet his website for
this board is still up and he's still advertising it
for sale!  I don't want to be in this situation, but
neither do I want anyone else in the atari music scene
to find themselves in the same situation.  I certainly
wish someone had warned me off before this all
happened.  But I was blinded by the desire to keep
using my atari gear for my audio recording work, 
something that now looks like a huge mistake.  I guess
the one thing I can be blamed for is not realizing
something that was "Too good to be true" was exactly
that!
