difficult to maintain, add yourself with a patch if desired.

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.
