That's OK. There are a number of other sync serial cards for which support is forthcoming (I've already directed Heikki at John Hay and the ARNET driver in progress) and for which all driver sources should be available. Given that we're supposed to be a full-source, free OS (and always interested in seeing sharing work with other OSs) I think that this is a good direction and I applaud Heikki for being willing enough to pony up a non-trivial amount of money. No, $1000 is not enough to even remotely tempt a company into doing support, but it may be just enough to push someone who was contemplating it anyway into writing a driver.. -- Jordan
