That would be just *so* excellent! :-) i know! and it actually *worked* at one point. tho mike durian was *always* pushing the envelope, so it was hard to say if it was going to work from one release to the next. so, with diffculty, i found an old dist of tclmidi. he stopped writing drivers after version 3.1, but his driver code was really good. however, his freebsd code was written against freebsd 2.0.5. things have changed a bit. so, here's something people could help me with: what replaced files.i386 and i386/conf.c as the mechanism for listing what the possible devices are? if i new that, i could try and hack this into a kernel and run with it, because i saw it work that way once :-) but i really should bite the bullet and try to do this as an lkm..ack! kld, i am really showing my age here. i'll have to look at one of the more non-trivial .ko's and see what it looks like. this shouldnt be too hard...durian did all the hard stuff.... > And Sue, you've piqued my interest again in exploring the tools that are > available for Unix.
