I guess I could get into driver debugging but I don't have the Well, it works ok with OPENSTEP and Intel Rhapsody...And I've heard of Linux working. > What's your source for this information? Are there people at Connectix who > are willing to discuss this kind of thing? To be honest, I don't remember. I think I heard about third-hand that someone had complained to FreeBSD people, who in-turn complained to Connectix, who did a 1.x release claiming to have the fix for that as one of the changes. Now I have 2.0 and it still doesn't work. Generally from what I hear, Connectix is pretty interested in making sure that VPC is a quality PC hardware emulator which will run pretty much anything. So, I think they like to try to fix things like this. It's just that I have LinuxPPC on my desktop machine, FreeBSD on a PC and my laptop would be too slow for it to be fun anyway. So, I haven't pursued it much. Sean -- Sean Harding sharding@oregon.uoregon.edu|"It's not a habit, it's cool. http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~sharding/ | I feel alive."
