Mike, you mentioned a few years ago that you used vmware for some things, are you using any virtualization stuff today for your driver hacking? I started playing with qemu recently, mainly for work-related things that involve freebsd. I haven't tried it on my pvrusb2 box yet but I am tempted. I can easily get addicted to the convenience of having boot screens in a vnc window instead of having to deal with a physical monitor. And I also like not having to worry about zapping the MBR or formatting the wrong partition during a test install... -- Bjorn Danielsson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ pvrusb2 mailing list [email protected] http://www.isely.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pvrusb2
