Sorry, got confused there, I need to start my day with more coffee. Still I think it's strange; most of the other drivers do list their hardware irrespective of how many controllers they support. And if the list would never be complete, why does the man page still include such a list? In any case, if this is what was decided then that's ok with me too. --Stijn -- MY HATE OF D02 KNOW NO LIMIT -- A Silent Wail, http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?s=&threadid=31914
