That would be awesome. I've got this ancient wangtek sitting here idle 'cause i can't find docs on it (it belongs to a friend, and they don't have the manuals either) and yet i'm teased by the fact the kernel apparrently supports it. And, quite frankly, i wouldn't know how to work it if i ever _did_ get the kernel to accept it (it accepts the card, but thwe drive won't budge). I'm sure others are in the same boat. -Mit %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% % ShyOne | Mitayai % % Engineer | Project Co-ordinator % % 08.ZIYA | DreamLabs % % shyone@constantchange.on.ca | mitayai@dreaming.org % %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
