- There is still hope. There are two of us that are interested in writing
- the driver, myself and Kevin Cozens <kcozens@io.org>. I have copies the
- datasheets/programing notes for the controller chip used on the Oktagon
- but have not yet sent them up to Kevin. I do not yet have a development
- environment configured on my Amiga to build the kernel (havn't gotten the
- shell scripts to run yet).
-
- I have been collecting a list of people interested in the Oktagon and you
- are already on my list. I'm sure we'll post here and comp.os.linux.m68k
- when we have anything going.
