And if I have to subscribe to -hackers that time investment > triples automatically :-) :-) I didn't say *subscribe* to -hackers, I said *contact* them. :-) Thankfully our Majordomo doesn't mutilate reply-to's so you'll get the majority of the replies, assuming another war doesn't ensue... I will say that we've had a few requests here for LS-120, and if you have access to the hardware & knowledge to do it, I'd say go for it. The robustness of the ATAPI interface code could use some testing from an outside source. I don't know how hot LS-120 will be, though, but anything you can contribute would be greatly appreciated.
