Sure, but I haven't had any response, yet. I wonder there's little IxMicro
cards users now. I haven't heard ixmicro activities recently...

(I don't know about it at all. Does IMSTT 128s have only on ID?)

                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes, it is really obsolete, therefore I'm rewriting DDX.

> reason for anybody to use xpmac over a (granted, working) 4.x.
                                         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is that a true for everyone and when?
In my experience, when experts or developers say "it performs great,
works fine without any problem", mostly it isn't true for beginners
(including me a couple years ago), who can't even get it to work.
 In my personal opinion, it isn't a bad idea that people can SELECT
the server suitable for their skills and purposes.
