Depends on what you need/want. It can be done in the socket enviroment for apllications (source compatible). The only problem is the Streams clone facility, but I have that already. > > A CAPI would be a highly welcome thing, but i doubt we'll ever have one > due to the huge amount of design and coding work necessary to get one. YUP, I can only offer my clone device but thats it (no spare time in the near/medium future ...) On the other hand wha would we gain? We could compile applications build for CAPI drivers, we couldn't use CAPI driver coming with the cards (unless we present a MSDOS/BIOS enviroment too).
