If you could bundle the driver and some instructions for installing it (perhaps ask me about the KernelDriver automated driver installation script), we could get Jordan to put it on the 2.2 CD in the 'experimental' section. I have a reasonable pile of stuff that I want to go there, and I'd suggest that anyone else that wants wider distribution for their work-in-progress project should pester jkh for inclusion. Jordan, perhaps a short announcement and a day or two of grace for us to get stuff together? > amir -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
