Is this the same protocol used for the DigiChannel Boxes?? I have access to about 80 ports worth of digichannel's from a customer that upgraded his NCR to an HP9000, including the EISA interface cards for them (Do they make PCI?). I would be willing to throw my weight into a project to make these boxes work with FreeBSD, if I could find out what is required to talk to them. brian BTW> The last UNIX driver I wrote was my own version of a driver for the non-intelligent Digiboard 4 Channel boards (there's was broken at the time). I later ported it to MS-DOS when we moved the office system software there. Just pointing out I may be a leetle rusty.
