I am willing to hack code and beta test, the same goes for changes to the floppy tape driver to support the Jumbo 350 and variable length tapes (I had a quick hack but I don't have the interface spec). Plus I am also waiting for XFree86 3.1.2 to be released as I have a S3 968 chipset based graphics card! (or should I use Linux which has a binary of the new server already available 8-). Once I get all these small hardware support problems out of the way I can get back to writing free X applications on my new Pentium box (UNIX at home at last!). I know a lot of this is "RSN" but FreeBSD is so good that I'm getting impatient for the rest of it!! 8-) Richard
