Do your patches eliminate the need for the Tekram patches? I am using 2.1.5 and have installed the Tekram 390F patches and recompiled the kernel. It seems to work well. I do have a small patch from you for NCR875 on 2.1.5. I do not think it was over 500 lines however. Could you put your patch in incoming on freefall and email the list when it is finished? I would like to get away from the Tekram code and go with FreeBSD only code. Thanks, -- Craig Shaver (craig@progroup.com) (415)390-0654 Productivity Group POB 60458 Sunnyvale, CA 94088
