0028 Special thanks to:
0029
0030 Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
0031 Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
0032 Much has been learned from that effort.
0033
0034 The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers. For being on the Linux USB list
0035 and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
0036
0037 Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
0038 of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
0039 THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
0040
0041 The following corporations have helped us in the development
0042 of Linux USB / UUSBD:
0043
0044 - 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
0045 in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never
0046 expect such a great help.
0047
0048 - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
0049 Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
0050 for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
0051 Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
0052 Operating System and supports this project with
0053 Hardware. Thanks!.
0054
0055 - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
0056
0057 - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
0058 built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard
0059 makers in the world.
0060
0061 - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
0062 PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
0063
0064 - Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
0065 will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
0066 Linux users.
0067
0068 - Many thanks to ing büro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]!
0069 It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
0070 for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
0071 quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
0072
0073 - Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
0074 protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
0075 NetMouse Pro. Thanks!
0076
0077 - AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux
0078 USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a
0079 leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers
0080 and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1
0081 is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.
0082
0083 - Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U
0084 USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer
0085 code.

0093 trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for
0094 gaming and professional use.
0095
0096 Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,
0097 they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as a
0098 way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
0099 Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
0100 operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
0101 other USB hardware.
0102
