I don't think I really understand this sentence. I assume for now that you mean with ``peripheral firmware'' what Steve means with ``device firmware''. Let me try to describe what you mean: Given a hardware device, which is commonly used as peripheral device for a computer system. This hardware device happens to have enough ram, rom and peripherial on its own, so that it could run as a ``standalone device''. In this case, you could make use of source of the sourceless ``device firmware'' in question for your own programms on the ``standalone device''. In case I'm right: WTF?! Can you please give me some concrete examples of devices which can be used both as ``peripherial'' as well as ``standalone''? In case I'm wrong, please clarify. -- Gruesse/greetings, Reinhard Tartler, KeyID 945348A4 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
