Well, this assumes that it would only take 100 hours, of which given the complexity of the device, it will probably take more than twice that (since it's a PCI device and the estimates I gave are for USB devices). If nothing else, it offers some insight as to how valuable the work of people like Steven is (he has written a whole bunch of different drivers). It also demonstrates one reason there are so few developers willing to do this sort of work. Getting a developer to donate a couple of evening's worth of time is pretty easy. Getting them to make a commitment of every day for the next two to three months is quite harder. Devin -- Devin J.
