Technically, shouldn't these hardware venders have the common sense and business sense to actually test their hardware to make sure that it is compatible instead of relying purely on what Apple tells them?

who knows whether there's any truth to this. I feel that a 3D UI would be enough to make a jump in the numbering scheme anyways, os11, maybe what he's talking about isn't actually for 10.4 but for farther down the road. either way, i'm gonna be gettin 10.4 cause when i got jaguar like an idiot about a week before panther was announced (this is also about when i started paying attention to rumour sites) i figured i'd just skip 10.3 altogether, and settle with a two year update cycle.

While I agree businesses need to have more sense, unfortunately many are blinded by marketshare numbers and forget that Mac users exist. Only if we holler loud enough will they make their firmware updates available. Today, I got a customer who has a Firewire 400 drive from http://www.aicmicro.com/ It appears to have suffered the Panther bug. As it stands, only sometimes is it able to mount on the machine, other times it is totally invisible to all utilities and System Profiler. AIC Micro has no firmware updates available on their website and they claim to believe Apple's word. He had only left the drive mounted through one restart and that's all it took.
