Not writing a Comedi driver is extremely short-sighted. The obvious advantage of using Comedi is that you can easily switch to using different hardware. Shouldn't you be asking yourself "Why would I rewrite a driver framework that already exists and is tested?" Also, drivers don't really have any code that communicates with user space. dave... -- David Schleef Big Kitten LLC (http://www.bigkitten.com/) -- data acquisition on Linux
