anyone have any info on ieee1284 ports on freebsd? i have forwarded a message from the quickcam-drivers mailing list where someone was asking. --dave ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 17 Feb 1999 15:13:22 -0500 (EST) From: Patrick Reynolds <patrick@cs.virginia.edu> To: Jiva DeVoe <jiva@devware.com> Cc: quickcam-drivers@crynwr.com Subject: Re: borrowing a VC (follow-up) > When do you figure a beta driver will be available? When it's done. :) Seriously... It's hard to say. I'm doing testing, porting, and refinement more than from-scratch driver development, because I'm not the one with the VC specs. So I'm waiting for a preliminary version of the driver and for ECP-mode (IEEE1284) parallel, which should appear soon after Linux-2.3.0. At least in its initial form, the driver will require kernel support for IEEE1284 ports (this is the Right Thing to Do, though it causes backwards compatibility nightmares). Does anyone know the status of IEEE1284 ECP code in other Unix-alike OSes? *BSD? --Patrick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
