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

makers in the world.

- CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700

PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.

- Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they

will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)

Linux users.

- Many thanks to ing büro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]!

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

NetMouse Pro. Thanks!

- AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux

USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a

leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers

and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1

is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.

- Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U

USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer

code.

- Many thanks to Logitech for contributing a three axis USB

mouse.

Logitech designs, manufactures and markets

Human Interface Devices, having a long history and

experience in making devices such as keyboards, mice,

trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for

gaming and professional use.

Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,

they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as 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.

Logitech is official sponsor of the Linux Conference on

Feb. 11th 1999 in Vienna, where we'll will present the

current state of the Linux USB effort.

- CATC has provided means to uncover dark corners of the UHCI

inner workings with a USB Inspector.

- Thanks to Entrega for providing PCI to USB cards, hubs and

converter products for development.

- Thanks to ConnectTech for providing a WhiteHEAT usb to

serial converter, and the documentation for the device to

allow a driver to be written.

- Thanks to ADMtek for providing Pegasus and Pegasus II

evaluation boards, specs and valuable advices during

the driver development.

And thanks go to (hey! in no particular order :)

- Oren Tirosh <orenti@hishome.net>, for standing so patiently

all my doubts'bout USB and giving lots of cool ideas.

- Jochen Karrer <karrer@wpfd25.physik.uni-wuerzburg.de>, for

pointing out mortal bugs and giving advice.

- Edmund Humemberger <ed@atnet.at>, for it's great work on

public relationships and general management stuff for the

Linux-USB effort.

- Alberto Menegazzi <flash@flash.iol.it> is starting the

documentation for the UUSBD. Go for it!

- Ric Klaren <ia_ric@cs.utwente.nl> for doing nice

introductory documents (competing with Alberto's :).

- Christian Groessler <cpg@aladdin.de>, for it's help on those

itchy bits ... :)

- Paul MacKerras for polishing OHCI and pushing me harder for

the iMac support, giving improvements and enhancements.

- Fernando Herrera <fherrera@eurielec.etsit.upm.es> has taken

charge of composing, maintaining and feeding the

long-awaited, unique and marvelous UUSBD FAQ! Tadaaaa!!!

- Rasca Gmelch <thron@gmx.de> has revived the raw driver and

pointed bugs, as well as started the uusbd-utils package.

- Peter Dettori <dettori@ozy.dec.com> is uncovering bugs like

crazy, as well as making cool suggestions, great :)

- All the Free Software and Linux community, the FSF & the GNU

project, the MIT X consortium, the TeX people ... everyone!

You know who you are!

- Big thanks to Richard Stallman for creating Emacs!

- The people at the linux-usb mailing list, for reading so

many messages :) Ok, no more kidding; for all your advises!

- All the people at the USB Implementors Forum for their

help and assistance.

- Nathan Myers <ncm@cantrip.org>, for his advice! (hope you

liked Cibeles' party).

- Linus Torvalds, for starting, developing and managing Linux.

- Mike Smith, Craig Keithley, Thierry Giron and Janet Schank

for convincing me USB Standard hubs are not that standard

and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the

standard hub driver.
