Currently we have the following:

	- working drivers for keyboards, mice, hubs
	- usable driver for USB Zip drive (Iomega, SCSI) (any
	coders/testers (the true combination) welcome)

I am currently finishing the initial workings of the Zip driver and have
been able to MSDOS format a disk and been able to read a hfs (iMac)
floppy as well. But the driver panics the system when drive unplugged.

Planned is:

	- rewrite of the uhub driver to completely follow newbus
	  (up to now a mixed approach which fails at detach)
	- start working on 3COM modem support
	- start working on Ye-Data drive support
	- start working on Digi 2/4/8 serial port device support
	- start working on 3COM ISDN adapter support
	- start working on audio support

	and while doing this:

	- solidify the UHCI controller support
	- solidify the OHCI controller support
	- improve USBDI

The ISDN TA, the Ye-Data drive and Digi serial port device have kindly
been provided to me (have not yet arrived though) by the respective
hardware vendors. Cherry has provided me with a keyboard (with internal
bus powered hub).

Anyone care to join? Pick up something fairly straightforward like the
audio (Audiocontrol driver). Follow the specs and mail me your comments
on the USBDI interface we use. A template driver is the ums mouse
driver.

Kind regards,

P.S.: USBDI as in, our version of it. The people from the consortium
kicked us out.
