I have a few questions: 1. Why does the mms.h include file specify 0 as the value for the constant used to size several of the driver's data structures? I would guess that this would make the driver worthless? 2. The ioconf.c was created by config with a constant called IO_BMS0 for the IO base address of the (presumably) first card although the only constants defined in the isa header files are IO_BMS1 and 2. I took a guess and #defined IO_BMS0 to equal IO_BMS1 and the thing compiled although the mouse jumps all over the screen when I try to use it. Is there anyone working on this driver? I would like to collaborate if so. Forgive me if this is a FAQ (about the driver not compiling straight out of the box..).
