| Might aswell add that clockport drivers will also be included, as many zorro cards (especially those from Individual Computers) have a clockport on them. _________________ It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

Would a RAID card send too much data through a PCI slot for DMA, or the CPU to handle?
I vote RAID driver!!!!

| Thank me if this produces any drivers instead. A gesture is only worth the sum of what comes out of it ;) _________________ It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better.

| Brilliant. If I
a) didn't already have an Aone and b) couldn't code my way out of a IDE driver if my life so depended on it,
I would pick you up on this directly. Good intentions does merit praise in this case. Your initiative is commendable, even if no drivers were to come out of it in the end.
Or to add to the Swedish praise:

| Good stuff Andreas! A really good intiative. Hopefully you'll get some drivers made this way
@ thread
What drivers do we need first?
SCSI? higher speed wireless cards than 11mbit? TV cards? Wasn't there a guy that made a TV card program? But he lacked some of the newer model of cards? Something else? _________________ /Harry

| Sounds like a good initiative.
I would go for a high speed wireless network card (i.e 54mbps or higher).
Its a shame I cant progra. |

| Id like to see:
- Drivers for treating a pocketpc as a mass storage device ( which is half the battle ), similar for Palm.
- Drivers for 54g wireless networking in PCI and USB form.
- Drivers for scanners and printers over USB |

OpenOffice.org uses SANE, so we're having to port that as part of the requirements (including providing feedback to the OS4 team particularily requirements for USB scanning, as we are having to port LibUSB)

| Writing HW driver for home computer is something I want to do someday, simply because of curiosity & the fun of it.
I have designed one LCD display construction & built it and I wrote HW documentation for the driver, but never had the time to write the driver itself. It's fun to tweak with the HW in some sane&reliable (near) RTOS environment.
So, someday, hopefully....
And I fight to resist the desire to start with Radeon AIW drivers.
Just kidding: "If you can make a driver, let me know and I'll send you the required hardware. " .... If I teach my wife to drive a ferrari, you'll send a 360 Modena?

| Nice altruistic movement from GuruMeditation, really! I hope there will be brave coders to take this chance. I would really like to see SCSI card drivers... _________________ Álmos Rajnai
