The makers of the patch don't quite let on as to *what* might be assigned to the new device numbers created... It's in the comment lines.. /* codrv */, /* fd */, etc. the "haug" patch for lpt driver was using the addresses taken for the SCSI driver. Pardon? The SCSI driver has all the majors it needs at this point. Or were you talking about someone else's? Question: could there be a block -- say, 4 -- numbers carved out for the "haug patch" plus a couple to spare? If you want one or more major numbers assigned, please mail me as I'm coordinating the handing-out of majors. What is the "haug" patch, just out of curiousity? Thanks..
