Hi Christian, Thanks for your reply. I mailed meinberg whether they give out datasheets to their products so that I can modify the driver. If I don't manage to make the new one working, is there interest by german or european developers to take on the hardware or money to buy their own device? I don't know if the original umbg(4) driver author is still at OpenBSD... I probably won't get a reply by monday, so we'll see then. Regards, -peter
