And it probably is too. Thanks, added to source tree.

BTW, you're asserted All Rights Reserved¸ is that compatible with the
sources you've used, e.g. Donald Becker's driver, which is GPL?

Yes, tell me your id when it's activated. I can't find you in the people
list so either you're registered under another name or the db is not up
to date.

You did a fine job.  Many people who you will never meet will appreciate 
your work.

Driver writing is a learning experience, like so many things in life.  
What you figured out from writing this driver will help you on your next 
one.

Many thanks for your good work.

Marty

Ok, I'll sign you in.

Maybe cleaning up the code with indent wouldn't hurt, there is quite a
bit of old stuff lying around.

Hi Ken

My sourceforge id is timlegge.  It is activated.

I contacted Donald today and he is fine with adding:

This driver includes code that is copyright 1997-2000 by Donald Becker.

And then the usual GPL notice and possibly a mention of how to contact him.

As for the all rights reserved, I must have copied that from another driver
;-).  I can submit a patch to fix things.

Tim
