That's a good point but the driver is actually a .ko that uses documented kernel interfaces (well it's not because it's documented that it will never change but you see my point). Well, there may be two not-so-documented calls but that's all. Mmm yeah and I assume some stuff about the VM86. Ok let's pretend I haven't said anything. ;) At the very least I hope to present the work at some *BSDCon. That's not as great as giving the source code but it's better than nothing for my overinflated ego.... ^^ On 6/24/07, Constantine A.
