If so, when? If not, does anyone have a feeling for how difficult this might be? I am thinking of doing it myself by starting with the Linux code, but this would be my first attempt at a Unix device driver and it seems a bit daunting... But there's a lot of these out there now (they're dirt cheap!) so maybe it would be of general use. Any hints as to how to proceed would be appreciated. This is the one device that I have that Linux supports and FreeBSD doesn't, and it's driving me NUTS! John Lajoie
