Yes of course. Please drop me a message to info@rocketdivision.com and I'd forward it to responsible guys who would generate you extended time limited key.

We're good friends with Alcohol Software and Daemon Tools and would never make a competition product for them. StarPort is "proof of concept" and not even close Alcohol or DT replacement.

Yeah. Understand that. just was making a comment more about the lack of 3rd party drivers for x64. but someone is going to have to be first in Providing drivers for x64. Wither it is printer drivers, cd/dvd virtual drivers, web cam drivers, etc, etc....

/me taps his fingers waiting for Thursday and the ups lady..

just setup nvidia raid 0 array on the nvidia chipset sata controller. that was intresting. used two ide drivers with sata adapters. had to run a repair install of xp x64 to get it to boot back up. oh well. to much coffee i guess.

From what I know Daemon Tools (they are driver providers for Alcohol software, just as Rocket Division is iSCSI target software provider for them) have beta version of AMD64 compatible driver set. So you would see something working closer to the end of this year.

well thanks for extenede trial code. i went back to win32 until x64 drivers are released for deamon tools and 120% nothing against your software which i hope to use a little more on the 2k3 server. upgraded to 1gbite so that should be fun to play with.

RDS stuff would be ported to x64 soon, from what I know DT/Acohol already have working 64-bit betas so stay tuned :)

:)

I'm not sure how cool would be x64 version of StarWind but currently my AMD X2 4800 box with dual 6600GTs in SLI mode run DooM3 at least four times faster then old 3400+ with Radeon 9800 Pro. And THAT's COOL :)

I'm a geek :roll:

Agreed, very nice indeed. Way beyond my monetary means though :cry:

I had to settle for an nForce3 chipset so I could retain as much of the original hardware as possible (has AGP instead of PCI-E). I run an Athlon64 3700+ (San Diego core).

For the development purpose quite oftenthere's a need to invest into the hardware most of the people would not have hands over for years! :(

Yeah right, of course :)

Absolutely nothing to do with playing DOOM3 at all. :roll:
Purely for development purposes, I can see that. :wink:
