Hi, As maybe you have already noticed, I use Linux, but this doesn't go into the case. We are working on getting the IBM HDAPS (Hard Drive Active Protection System) which is the one that parks the head of your new IBM lappy when it's on free fall or when there is heavy vibration. Anyway, if you are interested in looking at making a driver for it, here is some of the info and what we have so far as per our Linux driver which has been out for 5 days of development. hdaps.sf.net will be the site for the Project. We can host both FreeBSD and Linux projects there. I'm not racist like to not have them both there. If you are interested. I can make a separate mailing list for BSD users. Current Mailing list is: Hdaps-devel mailing list Hdaps-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/hdaps-devel We have an irc channel #hdaps at irc.freenode.org Current ultra beta with no really any information driver is at: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=138242 And the documentation that IBM "released" to make a driver is located at: http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/people/marksmith/tpaps.html So, as you wish. This is me only giving data for you to play with things as much as you can or wish. I just battled with IBM like for 3 months so they could do something, and they "released" this little info. If someone makes a driver, and want to host it in the same place, please let me know. It would be fun. HAVE FUN. (Please let me know if this is not the best place to announce this) .Alejandro
