Date: Mon, 19 Oct 1998 11:00:26 GMT0BST Hi Hackers, My name is James and I am a Computer Science student. I would like to help you if I may. I can program a bit but I would be content to do the occassional chore. I have used FreeBSD 2.2.6 for some months now and I am impressed. I am excited about the 3.0 release but I do not think I will upgrade. In particular the new SCSI features may enable me to use my scanner and the ELF compiler will help with my c++ programs. I have a Blackwidow scanner with a cut-down SCSI card as its interface. Do you know of a driver for this device? I prefer FreeBSD to Microsoft because I have more control how the system works. The applications available are of high quality and sometimes superior to Windows applications. It is a trial to set up and suitable only for the committed. I hope I hear from you soon, Well done you nutters ! James Annesley James To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
