Date: Sat, 2 Nov 1996 02:22:31 UTC Lines: 16 I have signed up for the Connectix video camera protocol developers kit, and hope to code up a FreeBSD driver or program for it. What would be helpful is if someone has a driver (or knows how to fiddle the existing driver) to do input as well as output. With more and more devices finding their way to the parallel port, it seems more than reasonable to come up with some nice standard way to do this under the lp driver. I could do what the parallel zip drive folks did and 'hijack' the whole port with my own driver, but what fun would that be? :-) -- Nick Sayer <nsayer@quack.kfu.com> | TRUE GIANTS OF HISTORY #102 N6QQQ @ N0ARY.#NORCAL.CA.USA.NOAM | +1 408 249 9630, log in as 'guest' | Edwin Armstrong URL: http://www.kfu.com/~nsayer/ | Radio Pioneer
