There are still some problems, however. For one thing, some of the vendors go beyond a single paragraph. For another, some of the vendors (e.g., BSDi) no longer exist. Finally, I think the hardware section could use a topical index like the one for the software section. Still, it's a start. -r ===== ActiveWire Inc. provides an extremely flexible, USB-based I/O board that connects to buttons, switches, and LEDs, providing a simple API to read and write to the I/O pins on the board.
