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

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

-Henry Lee (hyl@microplex.co)
-
- Henry sent me a M202 ethernet print server, making my little lan
- one of the few home networks to have it's own print server!
-
- ``Microplex Systems Ltd. is a manufacturer of local and wide area
- network communications equipment based in beautiful Vancouver, British
- Columbia, Canada. Microplex's first products were synchronous wide
- area network devices used in the mainframe communication networks. In
- August 1991 Microplex introduced its first LAN product, the M200 print
- server, the first high performance print server under US$1,000.''

-Tom Haapanen (tomh@metrics.com)
-
- Tom sent me two 16 bit SMC ethernet cards to replace my ancient 8
- bit ones. The performance is much better!
-
- Software Metrics Inc. is a small custom software development and
- consulting firm located in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. We work
- with a variety of environments (such as Windows, Windows NT and
- Unix), tools and application areas, and can provide assistance for
- development work ranging from a few days to to multiple man-year

-Steve Kennedy (steve@gbnet.net)
-
- Steve sent me 16Mb of ram so that I could install/test
- NT3.5. I previous had only 8Mb ram in my test machine, which
- wasn't enough to install a properly functioning copy of
- NTAS. Being able to directly test NT3.5 allowed me to solve
- several long standing NT<->Samba problems. Thanks Steve!
-
-John Terpstra (jht@aquasoft.com.au)
-
- Aquasoft are a specialist consulting company whose Samba-using
- customers span the world.
-
- Aquasoft have been avid supporters of the Samba project. As a
- token of appreciation Aquasoft have donated a 486DX2/66 PC with
- a 540MB EIDE drive and 20MB RAM.
-
- John has helped to isolate quite a few little glitches over time
- and has managed to implement some very interesting installations
- of Samba.
-
- The donation of the new PC will make it possible to more fully
- diagnose and observe the behaviour of Samba in conjuction with
- other SMB protocol utilising systems.

-Timothy F. Sipples (tsipple@vnet.IBM.COM)
-Steve Withers (swithers@vnet.IBM.COM)
-
- Tim and Steve from IBM organised a copy of the OS/2 developers
- connection CD set for me, and gave lots of help in getting
- OS/2 Warp installed. I hope this will allow me to finally fix
- up those annoying OS/2 related Samba bugs that I have been
- receiving reports of.

-Keith Wilkins (wilki1k@nectech.co.uk)
-
- Keith from NEC in England very generously supplied a PC to
- Luke Leighton to help with his nmbd development work. At the
- same time Keith offered to help me with some new hardware, and
- he sent me a pentium motherboard with 32MB of ram
- onboard. This was very helpful as it allowed me to upgrade
- my aging server to be a very powerful system. Thanks!
