There is an "info@digibd.com" address that you can send requests for a BSD-style copyright driver for FreeBSD support to. If this fails, I'll sign the DigiBoard NDA and do the work as long as I don't lose out too much financially. Someone will have to loan me a board and I'll fork out the $200.00 for the programming info but will release the binary-only driver as shareware, confident that at least some of the FreeBSD crowd will reimburse me for the support time. We've had a constant stream of requests for DigiBoard support, with about five this week. The support is the real issue for a binary-only driver: the support headache will fall on the individual willing to sign the NDA with Digi.
