There seems to be a move among printer and modem manufacturers (not to mention various multi-media entertainments) to push a lot of the real-time control onto PC drivers, and it would be nice to allow the possibility of support for these. Is a UDI on QNX implementation possible, for example? (I know FreeBSD itself doesn't care just yet, but moves are afoot, aren't they?) -- Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
