I actually meant that they'd have docs for the hardware they're porting too, but this is true too. I think we've been pretty blind in giving hardware out at the start, and I don't see this changing. However, what doesn't make sense is to ship people hardware that contain critical components that either a) don't yet have drivers written or b) we can't send docs on. - Alex -- Alex deVries Vice President of Engineering The Puffin Group
