I am trying to compile a list of all the device drivers available for
one or another flavor of UNIX.  If you have a driver for any device not
supported by the standard distribution, and are willing to distribute
it on some condition or another, please mail me.

PLEASE MAIL ME THIS INFORMATION -- I WILL POST TO THE NET.  There is no
need to ask me to send you what I find out.  Please do not mail me with
hearsay ( "I have a friend of a friend who might ..."), but only with
hard information such as could be embodied in the format suggested
below;  if people do not respond to the news request, I do not have
time to track them down.

I suggest the form:

	# Sample Description:

	Device Name:	<Manufacturer and model of device, also
			other manufacturers' look-alikes, if
			appropriate>
	Device Type:	<such as "400 MB winchester disk", "6250 bpi
			tape", "DMA tty multiplexer", etc.>
	For CPU type:	<e.g. "VAX", "PDP-11", "ONYX Z8002">
	For UNIX type:	<e.g. "4.1bsd", "v7", "v6", "system III">
	Availability:	<Who can get it>
	Terms & Cond.:	<cost, or whatever [like "send tape ..."]
	Contact:	<Whom to call, write, etc., to get it
			Use whatever form of address you would prefer
			to have requests arrive by.  If you give a
			net address, be prepared to transact business
			by the net.>

And of course, anything else people might need to know, such as
"Caveats" (a high-brow word for "bugs").

I will re-submit this once a week for a month, and then "close the
books".  All replies will be acknowledged; if you reply to this and do
not receive an acknowledgment in a reasonable time, please re-send.  To
make things easy, if you can please include in your reply one or two
reasonable net mail paths to get back to you, as the "From:" line of
your message to me may not be usable directly.

[ This is submission # 1]

The final talley will be posed to the net no later than the first week
in January, 1983.

Thank you,

	- Alan S. Watt
