my bad - obviously I can't _write_. But anyway, I've written about this stuff on this list several times before, and it's certainly in the archives. I didn't want to mislead or confuse you. To clarify: I tried to talk to them for about a year and get them to release docs that would enable someone to create a driver for OpenBSD, but they didn't want to do that. Instead, they suggested that they might consider creating a driver themselves if, and only if, I could present them with something they consider a business case, which I can't do alone. To further any of this from "our" end, I think more people talking to IBM (or any other non-cooperating vendor) are generally a good thing because this will eventually raise awareness for the problem at their end. But in the meantime, I've pretty much given up hope that I'll see any progress talking to these guys. Wrt. Niklas: You probably want to partially blame me for the gdt(4) driver Niklas has done so nicely. Best, --Toni++
