Reffering to the Claus Riethmueller reply (from ESI ) I would like to announce that *we are looking for the competent driver programmer.* Anybody who could take on this quest or know somebody to contact with, please do it. We were waiting for ESI MAYA44 drivers for a long time. I think, this is the great moment to write them at last!! I count on you.
