| Special thanks to:
 | |
| 
 | |
|   Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
 | |
|   Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
 | |
|   Much has been learned from that effort.
 | |
| 
 | |
|   The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers.  For being on the Linux USB list
 | |
|   and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
 | |
| of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
 | |
| THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
 | |
| 
 | |
|         The following corporations have helped us in the development
 | |
|         of Linux USB / UUSBD:
 | |
| 
 | |
| 	- 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
 | |
| 	  in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never 
 | |
| 	  expect such a great help.
 | |
| 
 | |
|         - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
 | |
|           Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
 | |
|           for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
 | |
|           Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
 | |
|           Operating System and supports this project with
 | |
|           Hardware. Thanks!.
 | |
| 
 | |
|         - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
 | |
| 
 | |
|         - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
 | |
|           built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard

 | |
| 
 | |
|         - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
 | |
|           PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.

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

|           way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
 | |
|           Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
 | |
|           operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
 | |
|           other USB hardware.
