| 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 bΓΌro 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. | |
| - Many thanks to Logitech for contributing a three axis USB | |
| mouse. | |
| Logitech designs, manufactures and markets | |
| Human Interface Devices, having a long history and | |
| experience in making devices such as keyboards, mice, | |
| trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for | |
| 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. | |
| - CATC has provided means to uncover dark corners of the UHCI | |
| inner workings with a USB Inspector. | |
| - Thanks to Entrega for providing PCI to USB cards, hubs and | |
| converter products for development. | |
| - Thanks to ConnectTech for providing a WhiteHEAT usb to | |
| serial converter, and the documentation for the device to | |
| allow a driver to be written. | |
| - Thanks to ADMtek for providing Pegasus and Pegasus II | |
| evaluation boards, specs and valuable advices during | |
| the driver development. | |
| And thanks go to (hey! in no particular order :) | |
| - Oren Tirosh <orenti@hishome.net>, for standing so patiently | |
| all my doubts'bout USB and giving lots of cool ideas. | |
| - Jochen Karrer <karrer@wpfd25.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de>, for | |
| pointing out mortal bugs and giving advice. | |
| - Edmund Humemberger <ed@atnet.at>, for his great work on | |
| public relationships and general management stuff for the | |
| Linux-USB effort. | |
| - Alberto Menegazzi <flash@flash.iol.it> is starting the | |
| documentation for the UUSBD. Go for it! | |
| - Ric Klaren <ia_ric@cs.utwente.nl> for doing nice | |
| introductory documents (competing with Alberto's :). | |
| - Christian Groessler <cpg@aladdin.de>, for his help on those | |
| itchy bits ... :) | |
| - Paul MacKerras for polishing OHCI and pushing me harder for | |
| the iMac support, giving improvements and enhancements. | |
| - Fernando Herrera <fherrera@eurielec.etsit.upm.es> has taken | |
| charge of composing, maintaining and feeding the | |
| long-awaited, unique and marvelous UUSBD FAQ! Tadaaaa!!! | |
| - Rasca Gmelch <thron@gmx.de> has revived the raw driver and | |
| pointed bugs, as well as started the uusbd-utils package. | |
| - Peter Dettori <dettori@ozy.dec.com> is uncovering bugs like | |
| crazy, as well as making cool suggestions, great :) | |
| - All the Free Software and Linux community, the FSF & the GNU | |
| project, the MIT X consortium, the TeX people ... everyone! | |
| You know who you are! | |
| - Big thanks to Richard Stallman for creating Emacs! | |
| - The people at the linux-usb mailing list, for reading so | |
| many messages :) Ok, no more kidding; for all your advises! | |
| - All the people at the USB Implementers Forum for their | |
| help and assistance. | |
| - Nathan Myers <ncm@cantrip.org>, for his advice! (hope you | |
| liked Cibeles' party). | |
| - Linus Torvalds, for starting, developing and managing Linux. | |
| - Mike Smith, Craig Keithley, Thierry Giron and Janet Schank | |
| for convincing me USB Standard hubs are not that standard | |
| and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the | |
| standard hub driver. |
