You haven't done a thing Bas. And I am sorry you have taken my quest for knowledge as an insult, it certainly was not intended that way. I was intending to point out that urls are, if all emailers are to take the correct action, are surrounded by a set of <> And urls don't normally contain spaces. > Do you continue generating FUD here because you can't have it > all for free?

You would probably have to back up about 15 years to find a patch I submitted to the linux floppy driver, and which was rejected. It worked for me wasn't good enough. What I seem to be moderately good about, is finding bugs, or at least that which looks like bugs to me. I call attention, but generally if its not my own stupidity, someone else writes the bugzilla entry. But I'd have to admit that probably 75% of what I'd call a bug, really isn't. > As I posted here when I introduced the BeBoPr, I offered to write (and > open source) the PRU code needed to run linuxCNC on the BeBoPr, provided > someone else would take care of the real-time kernel required.

I can't blame you, the stuff that google serves up seems to be quite incomplete, which is what led to my questions in the first place. I am well aware that the pricing for a 'beaglebone' "cape", since it will have a much smaller sales potential than the B-Bone itself, is going to be higher, often 2 or 3x what the bare B-Bone at 89 bucks is. Nearly 55 years in broadcasting, in the engineering branch of the cash cow, has taught me well that the prices are going to considerably higher when the market for the device is likely under a total sales volume of 1000 pieces. That has given me a "can it do the job?" attitude that can and has come across as abrasive, my apologies for that. Obviously, you are a 'doer', and that always impresses me. I was also, making what we couldn't buy, or couldn't afford to buy as the case may have been, but at 78, & retired for about 11 years now, I do more wood and metal carving than most will see until I fall over & the DW puts it up for sale. But its a hobby for me now. That means me & my poor short term memory are a student at the feet of some people who have lived & dreamed about this stuff for as long as I have been chasing electrons for a living. That is about 65 years. And still occasionally putting a local radio station to right when the transmitter falls over. We are a dying breed, which is exactly what the local stations previous engineer did. Locally, I'm it now. > Have a nice day, > -- Bas You too Bas.
