I've finished a first release of a HAL userspace component to drive a  
Toshiba VF-S11 VFD via Modbus, vfs11_vfd. It's adapted from gs2_vfd.c  
and works fine for me so far. A description how to connect the VFD and  
set initial parameters is included.

I would assume that folks with other Modbus-capable VFD's find  
vfs11_vfd a bit easier to adapt than gs2_vfd because it is not assumed  
that  register range are continuous, or multiple holding reagister  
read/writes are availaible.

Code, manpage etc currently is at 
http://mah.priv.at/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/vfs11_vfd/?root=CVS&hideattic=1 
  . Code should go into  src/hal/user_comps and added to the  
Submakefile like gs2_vfd, then make.

Bug reports & success stories are welcome.

-Michael

ps: I'd appreciate a hint as to how to socially-compatible add this to  
the EMC2 tree. Thanks.
