Markus,

> do you give that guarantee in written form? Maybe with the purchase?

If you want, I give it to you in written form.


> I ask because the EU is changing there RoHS rules and the driver you are
useing is not RoHS compliant. How can you guarantee such things gainst the RoHS
rules?

The RohS rules don't apply to spare parts.


> I do not own a FS2 right now but i come across a comparison at
> http://astronomie.rajiva.de/astronomie/smstv.html

Forget this comparison, it was written by a competitor and in my opinion many
entries are wrong or incomplete.


> Is it true that you do not offer any firmware updates since the year 2002 any
more?

No.


> What is the last version sold with new controllers?

V1.21


> Your website says the last version of the year 2004 is very buggy

No, my website doesn't say that. Everything in V1.25 is working fine, except the
PEC function. Those users who don't need the PEC function can use V1.25 without
any problems.


> Is it true that a upgrade is not free

This is true, a software update costs 15 EUR.


> and i have to open the device to change some electronic parts inside the FS2?

Yes, you have to open it. No, you have to change only _one_ part.


> Is it true you sold that buggy firmware to customers and do not
> offer any upgrades any more?

No.


> I spoke with some starfriends and they told me you are on the watch
list of the german courts because you sold the FS2 since 2005 against the german
laws. Is this true?

This is wrong. I have never heard of any "watch list of german courts".


> Is it true that you do not work on the controller any more because you know
about the new RoHS rules and the fact that you can't purchase the controller any
more in the future?

This is wrong. The FS2 is fully compliant with the german RohS rules.
I already told you that I have a huge stock of these chips.
I don't need to buy any more of these chips. The chip is still available, it
would be no problem to order 10000 or more.


> Is it true that you multiple register with a false identity at a
> forum from your competitor to steal there firmware source codes?

This is wrong. I don't need the firmware source codes of my competitors.


> I know a lot questions but i want to make shure i do not buy stuff
> that i can depollute tomorrow because the dealer is not allowed to
> offer parts that are not RoHS compliant. ;-)

Are you sure that your name is Markus? I ask because you make the same english
spelling errors as the author of the "comparison table".

I hope that I've answered all your questions. If you don't like my answers,
please feel free to buy another product instead of mine.
