Don't cry too loud. I'm still working on a universal driver. Though, I'm
first finishing a different project: Helping Marat in improving the vdp
emulation of fMSX. The improvements made up to now have already lead to

Now you're calling it a device manager yourself too, eh? ^_^

Hi,
As you might know, I am writing some programs for joynet. While I was
