This is the conspiracy theorist answer. I'm not saying that it is wrong, but it seems to me that more stuff is "Plug-and-play" without third party drivers in Windows, and without quirking. If you want to push it out a bit, most USB stuff I've seen also works with Macintosh systems, and *definitely* can't do anything with a vendor supplied driver CDROM, so It Just Works(tm). Maybe there is something to learn from Darwin in this area... I don't know how public the USB code is at this point there, or if it is published at all (though I thought it was). -- Terry _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
