It certainly doesn't build under linux, and typing make depend reveals an awful lot of sunos dependancies. I thought it was a little too quick to be true. People, I suggest you don't waste your time with downloading this one unless you want to port it to linux yourself. Oh and with regards to support of the keynote gold internal, Humanware are distributors in the U.S, the people to contact for programming information are Pulse Data PTY LTD in New Zealand, http://www.pulsedata.co.nz The email address is on the web site. Last time i checked you still had to sign a non-disclosure agreement to get the specs, though this may have changed due to the fact that almost noone was supporting keynote hardware due to the difficulty in getting programming specs for it. (smells suspiciously like creative labs/diamond technologies to me). Anyway, if someone is working on a linux port for UltraSonix, that would be cool, and be sure to let us know what happens with it.
