I have found that, but haven't found a version for the 2.6 kernel, so I am assuming that it is discontinued/dead. I think others used it for using the DEC pc with emacspeak. The loader for speakup was adapted from that package, and I am wondering whether I would have any more luck with loading firmware if I was using that driver, assuming I had a 2.6 version. - -- Luke Yelavich GPG key: 0xD06320CE (http://www.themuso.com/themuso-gpg-key.txt) Email & MSN: themuso@themuso.com ICQ: 18444344 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDvw80jVefwtBjIM4RAr4TAJ9Ht1Er5JaM7SxTskiIHvycTVAA2ACdG8zB m6QkfQ8DlFwgd2f/S6RsPZ4= =GCSj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
