Are you really stupid or are you just pretending to be really stupid?
Do you even know what an NDA is for?

An NDA prevents someone from talking about what are regarded as trade
secrets.  In the case of Adaptec supplying Dell with controllers,
Dell does not have trade secrets that they would be giving to Adaptec.
Instead, Adaptec would be the one presenting the 'trade secrets' to Dell
in the form of programming info, thus Adaptec would be issuing the
NDA to Dell, not the other way around.

If you cannot understand this then there's no point in discussing
it further with you, as you quite obviously have no idea what an
NDA is.
