28 | Special thanks to: | |
29 | ||
30 | Inaky Perez Gonzalez <[email protected]> for starting the | |
31 | Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver. | |
32 | Much has been learned from that effort. | |
33 | ||
34 | The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list | |
35 | and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences. | |
36 | ||
37 | Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations | |
38 | of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original | |
39 | THANKS file in Inaky's driver): | |

41 | The following corporations have helped us in the development | |
42 | of Linux USB / UUSBD: | |
43 | ||
44 | - 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me | |
45 | in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never | |
46 | expect such a great help. | |
47 | ||
48 | - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB | |
49 | Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver | |
50 | for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR | |
51 | Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open | |
52 | Operating System and supports this project with | |
53 | Hardware. Thanks!. | |
54 | ||
55 | - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help. | |
56 | ||
57 | - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with | |
58 | built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard | |
59 | makers in the world. | |
60 | ||
61 | - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700 | |
62 | PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation. | |

69 | It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector |
70 | for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was | |
71 | quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff! | |

74 | protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a | |
75 | NetMouse Pro. Thanks! | |
