It seems too good to be true. Chuck L. Peterson clp@altos.com

I would like to hear more about this too! Loren J.

There are about a dozen examples of how to directly access the /dev/scsi device, the virtual terminal device, ioctl()'s for controlling the screen display, etc. So far I haven't seen the driver source :-) But I'd like to be able to write MS-DOS floppies on this thing -- and that's supposed to be RSN... -- Frank J.
