[Observatory-developers] pc39 driver update to kernel 2.4.x

[Octavi F. <of...@am...>]

Hi colisters,

first of all, I would like to congratulate Tony Steidler-Dennison for 
making Talon available to the community.

I'm enrolled in a project for refurbishing a 50cm f/1 Baker-Nunn camera
for CCD use, both in remote and robotic modes (more info at 
http://www.racab.es/fabra/bnc/eng.htm ).

Talon is one of the options we are considering as control package, as the 
motion controller we own is the OMS PC48 (compatible with pc39 driver in 
Talon).

First step we are undertaking for adapting Talon to our hardware setting
is to update pc39.c driver to 2.4.x kernel (now it works for 2.2). I am
newbie in programming linux device drivers, so any experience report or
more generic suggestion on behalf this would be very welcome.

Thanks in advance,
