| 28 | Special thanks to: |
| 29 | |
| 30 | Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the |
| 31 | Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver. |
| 32 | Much has been learned from that effort. |
| 33 | |
| 34 | The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list |
| 35 | and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences. |
| 36 | |

| 42 | of Linux USB / UUSBD: |
| 43 | |
| 44 | - 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me |
| 45 | in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never |
| 46 | expect such a great help. |
| 47 | |
| 48 | - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB |
| 49 | Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver |
| 50 | for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR |
| 51 | Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open |
| 52 | Operating System and supports this project with |
| 53 | Hardware. Thanks!. |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help. |
| 56 | |
| 57 | - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with |

| 69 | It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector |
| 70 | for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was |
| 71 | quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff! |
| 72 | |
| 73 | - Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot |
| 74 | protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a |
| 75 | NetMouse Pro. Thanks! |
