Warner, thanks for this. Might be a while before I can do anything with it, being too broke and busy to even put a new box together at the moment, but it looks neat! Dare I ask, at a tangent .. I've some hopes of one day beating something like the old labpc driver into shape to support at least some functions of my old ACL-812PG card (ADclone's PCL-812PG), which I've so far managed to run in polling mode off a (virtualised) system timer interrupt in an OS/2 DOS box, in Turbo Pascal rendered from ADclone's crappy example C DOS drivers, no less :-) My C experience is mostly readonly, but I can follow it and have (still after 30 years) a reasonably good head for hardware coding of underlying devices. Getting a driver going for access at say a perl or rexx level would be really handy for some environmental monitoring (weather mostly) projects that have lingered on the backburner for some years here - and using CF with a not-so-pico -small system is looking like the go .. Is the labpc the only vaguely similar sort of driver for ISA AtoD sorts of cards that I might use as guidance? Might it still likely work as is in a freebsd -3 or -4 environment? An URL or two would be real handy .. Cheers, Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
