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.
