I would do this if I could find the 1.0 fd.c. Anyone have it? If you do, I would appreciate a copy. I can recompile a kernel on my machine at home and include this old file (assuming that it will work). Were there a lot of changes to this driver since then? -------------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Howlett Atlantic Systems Group E-Mail: phowlett@ASG.unb.ca Fredericton, N.B.
