Re: [MyHD-develop] TL880 owned by Zoran?

[Todd I <to...@ya...>]

Teralogic was originally bought by Oak Technologies.  Then, Oak was
bought by Zoran.

Several people have contacted each of these companies while they
owned the technology, but noone ever got a useful response.  (Way
back when they first made the Janus design, a rep from Teralogic sent
some messages to mailing lists looking for people interested in
working on Linux support.  But, by the time the cards started getting
popular, Teralogic had changed their tune and refusing or ignoring
any Linux inquiries.)


Since the companies were not cooperating, a developer by the name of
Mike Bourgeous began reverse engineering the Windows driver.  He used
an older version that had been distributed with debug symbols, and
without any EULA.    He made good progress on getting the chip
initialized, and figuring out the i2c communications.   But, he had
to leave on a two year commitment for his church, without any access
to e-mail/computers/etc.     When he left, things quickly ground to a
halt.   That was about a year ago, and he will not return for another
year.
