- Special thanks to:
- Inaky Perez Gonzalez <[email protected]> for starting the
- Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
- Much has been learned from that effort.
- The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list
- and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
- Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
- of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
- THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
- The following corporations have helped us in the development
- of Linux USB / UUSBD:
- - 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
- in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never
- expect such a great help.
- - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
- Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
- for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
- Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
- Operating System and supports this project with
- Hardware. Thanks!.
- - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
- - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
- built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard
- makers in the world.
- - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
- PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
- - Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
- will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
- Linux users.
- - Many thanks to ing büro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]!
- It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
- for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
- quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
- - Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
- protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
- NetMouse Pro. Thanks!
- - AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux
- USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a
- leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers
- and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1
- is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.
- - Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U
- USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer
- code.
- - Many thanks to Logitech for contributing a three axis USB
- mouse.
- Logitech designs, manufactures and markets
- Human Interface Devices, having a long history and
- experience in making devices such as keyboards, mice,
- trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for
- gaming and professional use.
- Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,
- they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as a
- way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
- Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
- operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
- other USB hardware.
- Logitech is official sponsor of the Linux Conference on
- Feb. 11th 1999 in Vienna, where we'll will present the
- current state of the Linux USB effort.
- - CATC has provided means to uncover dark corners of the UHCI
- inner workings with a USB Inspector.
- - Thanks to Entrega for providing PCI to USB cards, hubs and
- converter products for development.
- - Thanks to ConnectTech for providing a WhiteHEAT usb to
- serial converter, and the documentation for the device to
- allow a driver to be written.
- - Thanks to ADMtek for providing Pegasus and Pegasus II
- evaluation boards, specs and valuable advices during
- the driver development.
-
- And thanks go to (hey! in no particular order :)
- - Oren Tirosh <[email protected]>, for standing so patiently
- all my doubts'bout USB and giving lots of cool ideas.
- - Jochen Karrer <[email protected]>, for
- pointing out mortal bugs and giving advice.
- - Edmund Humemberger <[email protected]>, for it's great work on
- public relationships and general management stuff for the
- Linux-USB effort.
- - Alberto Menegazzi <[email protected]> is starting the
- documentation for the UUSBD. Go for it!

- charge of composing, maintaining and feeding the
- long-awaited, unique and marvelous UUSBD FAQ! Tadaaaa!!!
- - Rasca Gmelch <[email protected]> has revived the raw driver and
- pointed bugs, as well as started the uusbd-utils package.
- - Peter Dettori <[email protected]> is uncovering bugs like
