Re: question about installing keynote isa or eisa card in linux.

["Jeremy R Schmidt" <jschmidt@cs.und.edu>]

Hi Aaron,
I know I can't use the card with speakup.
I'm actually thinking about trying to write a driver for the keynote myself,
but I'm not sure where to start. I probably have to write some kind of init
function or something, but it seems like some of the docs talk about
assembler, so I'm not sure how to do that under c, or if I even have to.
It talks about registers and such I believe.
Anyway, do you know how to find the keynote, and write to it, or a piece of
hardware for that matter.
I've done a little with the doubletalk, but I just wrote to the serial port,
with /dev I believe. I just opened a file for read write, but I don't know
if that's the way to go in this case.

Jeremy
