It has potential as a future thing. > I'm more than a little paranoid about I20 and suspicious of UDI too... I2O is a very different animal. I2O is a completely closed, proprietary architecture developed basically for Windows NT by a pile of hardware vendors. UDI is a completely open driver architecture co-developed by a large number of software vendors. They have a strong interest in seeing it stay open. The only possible reason for drawing a parallel between I2O and UDI is to cast FUD upon the latter. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
