If you have any of the hardware listed below and are willing to either loan it to me or be a guinea pig, please let me know. I have patches for some of them on my web page: http://io.yi.org These compile with LINT and a kernel with no compat shims; they should apply cleanly to a recent -current. I've booted a kernel with all these drivers compiled in to verify they were correctly not detected and didn't panic my machine. If you use other drivers that still require compatibility shims you'll have to remove the entries for the drivers you are patching from sys/i386/isa/isa_compat.h or I believe the kernel will not link. This applies to LINT. Hardware or Testers Needed: ctx: Cortex-I frame grabber. spigot: Creative Labs Video Spigot video-acquisition board. meteor: Matrox Meteor video capture board. asc: GI1904-based hand scanners, e.g. the Trust Amiscan Grey. gsc: Genius GS-4500 hand scanner. el: 3Com 3C501 ethernet card. le: Digital Equipment EtherWorks 2 and EtherWorks 3 (DEPCA, DE100, DE101, DE200, DE201, DE202, DE203, DE204, DE205, DE422). alpm: Acer Aladdin-IV/V/Pro2 based motherboard. Especially Wierd/Don't Know What To Do About: gp: National Instruments AT-GPIB and AT-GPIB/TNT board. labpc: National Instrument's Lab-PC and Lab-PC+. loran: Loran Receiver. (phk?) xrpu: HOT1 Xilinx 6200 FPGA card. Thank you Jake To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
