....and some people wonder why i wish that there was a
fully-functional unix variant for the GS....  <g>  (i'm not counting
GNO/ME, since that rides over GS/OS, and i'm not counting ELKS [yet]
'cause it hasn't been ported to the ][ series yet....)

myself, i don't know the first thing about writing drivers.  however,
i know that i could look at plenty of examples, just by going to the
source code on MY linux box...  :)  (my dream is to have my //gs
connected to my linux box via ETHERNET...  <g>)
