Well, the keyboard (a Yamaha S03) came with a serial driver for Windows. It's not like Windows had intrinsic support for it or anything. I'm sure, given the superior performance of FreeBSD in general, it would work even better here. I'm anxious to try this under FreeBSD; been waiting a *long* time (since the removal of the old Voxware drivers what seems like eons ago). And I don't even have a Windows installation here anymore, threw in the towel with Windows a long time ago. :-) Is there anything I can do to help? I'm pretty handy at coding, myself. :-) -- Conrad Sabatier <conrads@cox.net> - "In Unix veritas"
