Special thanks to:
|
||
|
||
Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
|
||
Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
|
||
Much has been learned from that effort.
|
||
|
||
The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list
|
||
and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
|
||
|
||
Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
|
||
of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
|
||
THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
|
||
|
||
The following corporations have helped us in the development
|
||
of Linux USB / UUSBD:
|
||
|
||
- 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
|
||
in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never
|
||
expect such a great help.
|
||
|
||
- USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
|
||
Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
|
||
for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
|
||
Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
|
||
Operating System and supports this project with
|
||
Hardware. Thanks!.
|
||
|
||
- Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
|
||
|
||
- We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
|
||
built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard
|
||
makers in the world.
|
||
|
||
- CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
|
||
PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
|
||
|
||
- Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
|
||
will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
|
||
Linux users.
|
||
|
||
- Many thanks to ing b<>ro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]!
|
||
It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
|
||
for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
|
||
quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
|
||
|
||
- Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
|
||
protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
|
||
NetMouse Pro. Thanks!
|
||
|
||
- AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux
|
||
USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a
|
||
leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers
|
||
and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1
|
||
is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.
|
||
|
||
- Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U
|
||
USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer
|
||
code.

|
||
mouse.

||
gaming and professional use.
|
||
|
||
Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,
|
||
they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as a
|
||
way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
|
||
Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
|
||
operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
|
||
other USB hardware.
|
||
|
||
Logitech is official sponsor of the Linux Conference on
|
||
Feb. 11th 1999 in Vienna, where we'll will present the
|
||
current state of the Linux USB effort.

and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the
|
||
standard hub driver.
