Summary: List of drivers, their authors, archive sites, etc. from
requests on comp.os.386bsd.announce.
Archive-name: 386bsd-driver-list
Last-update: Mon Jun 14 10:34:18 CDT 1993
Version: 1.1
Well, since replies to my request for information on
drivers dried up a few weeks ago; here is the list.
I got more replies from folks wanting drivers than
from folks who'd done them.
Hopefully this posting will inspire folks whose drivers
aren't on the list to send me information on their stuff,
and I'll add it in.
If there is continued interest I'd be willing to turn this
over to the FAQ folks, or maintain it as a separate FAQ
posting for comp.os.386bsd.announce or some such.
Here is the form to submit new entries to the list:
