To: freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.org Date: Tue, 7 Mar 1995 21:57:30 -0800 (PST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 969 Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hi Folks (or it that hackers 8-)), I've been porting my Cyclades driver from BSD/OS 1.1 to FreeBSD, and today it said 'OK' in response to 'AT\r'. Yeah! My driver, in case you missed my other posting, is nice and robust and running at ISP sites under BSDI and working well and implements just about all of the intelligent features of the CD1400. I've re-named all the routines to avoid conflicts with the existing FreeBSD cyclades driver. I.E. my driver is 'cyb' as opposed to 'cy'. Shall I request a major device number for it? Or should we assume people will choose between mine and the existing one and assign their choice to the existing cy major device number? Brian Litzinger brian@easynet.com p.s. My MPEG driver for the Talisman hardware decoder is up and displaying MPEG systems streams in a Window under FreeBSD. Yeah2! Still have a way to go on the window control section. p.s.s. while I'm here anyway, why are netBSD and FreeBSD different efforts?
