As a native interface no, but I think that as an auxhiliary interface to
allow us to run third party drivers it's a very valuable service..
Thanks you Robert!
Robert, Don't let the negaive comments get you down. The
UDI driver service is valued,at least by me and I'm sure by many others
too!
Consider the negative comments to be just that... 'comments'
and I'm sure that even the authors of most of these comments
will say that over-all they are happier that you did
this than not at all. (Even if they have doubts about UDI)
