Hi, I plan to develop a driver for the MOXA Intelliio C320Turbo/PCI board. This is an intelligent serial multiport card. I've already contacted John Hay, who wrote the puc(4) driver and got some hint, I will also study the developers handbook. MOXA is willig to send me the specs for this card, but I have to sign an NDA. Now I'm not sure yet, how this will affect the resulting driver code (provided, there is any). How should I proceed? Would binary only KLD driver still be of some use? Is it likely, that I can publish the driver code under BSD license, although protected specs from MOXA have been used? Regardless of these license issues, I'm not experienced in programming device drivers or even system programming at all. I guess I would need someone to ask, from time to time, if I'm stuck, preferrably someone with good knowledge about serial communication. Who would you recommend, or who would be willig, to be harrased by my feeble efforts. :-} Thanks for your help.
