2000-01-16 Thread Michael Sperber [Mr. Preprocessor]
Hi, I've written a driver for SoundLight's PCDMX DMX512 boards. (DMX512 is a serial protocol used for driving theater and show lighting systems.) I plan to make it available via SoundLight's web site. The potential user base for this is not large enough to warrant inclusion into the kernel
