Dang it! I was trying to avoid resubscribing to -hackers at any cost. I figured maybe I can scrounge me up a victim, I mean volunteer, this way. Besides resubscribing to -hackers, though, I'm also very curious about the need/interest from FBSD and users in those drives. I don't want to go down this extremely looooong road, if there is no, or only modest, interest. The investment is not only of time but money as well and I have only seen three inquiries about it, archives and list combined. P.S. And if I have to subscribe to -hackers that time investment triples automatically :-) :-) ---Doug White <dwhite@gdi.uoregon.edu> wrote: > > On Thu, 13 Nov 1997, Rudy Gireyev wrote: > > > I was actually considering writing such a driver, but I would need a > > lot of help from the driver-masters.
