No surprise -- there is no 2.2.x port of the ppbus stuff (although it seems a trivial thing... it seems to compile fine here although i have no hardware to test it), not to mention any white paper or sample application -- at least i am not aware of any. Do you have pointers ? (and speaking of interest -- for the quickcam probably it is not worth the effort, but for scanners etc it would be a very nice thing to do given that a lot of scanners on the market now seem to use the parallel port). luigi -----------------------------+-------------------------------------- Luigi Rizzo | Dip. di Ingegneria dell'Informazione email: luigi@iet.unipi.it | Universita' di Pisa tel: +39-50-568533 | via Diotisalvi 2, 56126 PISA (Italy) fax: +39-50-568522 | http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/ _____________________________|______________________________________ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
