I have nothing against joining as a developer as soon as I have something
significant to contribute. So far, I haven't really done much. I did
convert to the 18 May 2.2.10 kernel (I think that's the right date.) So I
should be compatible with most of the others.
A one sheet directions came with the Hypercom card....and it's all in
German. I know a word here and there in German but that's about it. :) A
drawing on the card shows two UARTs and a mistery chip. I guess I should
have copied the chip numbers down before I shoved the card into the slot.
I sent an email to su...@vm... asking if they could supply enough
information so that a Linux driver could be written. I hope they reply.
If anyone on this list has any information about the card they can send it
to me.
On a more general note I have wondered why the folks making
Amiga expansion cards are not more forthcoming about sharing
information with the Amiga Linux community. It seems the only thing they
could gain is a few more card sales.
I sent an email to Petsoff asking for information on the delfina plus
card. I did get an answer basically saying all the Atari drivers should
work with the card. When I pressed them for more information than that I
got no response. Does anyone know about the Atari and the DSP 56000
architechture?

Different UARTs? Different PAL? Or maybe just a different board
identifier that the kernel does not recognize?
