  Special thanks to:
  
    Inaky Perez Gonzalez <inaky@peloncho.fis.ucm.es> for starting the
    Linux USB driver effort and writing much of the larger uusbd driver.
    Much has been learned from that effort.
  
    The NetBSD & FreeBSD USB developers.  For being on the Linux USB list
    and offering suggestions and sharing implementation experiences.
  
  Additional thanks to the following companies and people for donations
  of hardware, support, time and development (this is from the original
  THANKS file in Inaky's driver):
  
          The following corporations have helped us in the development
          of Linux USB / UUSBD:
  
  	- 3Com GmbH for donating a ISDN Pro TA and supporting me
  	  in technical questions and with test equipment. I'd never 
  	  expect such a great help.
  
          - USAR Systems provided us with one of their excellent USB
            Evaluation Kits. It allows us to test the Linux-USB driver
            for compliance with the latest USB specification. USAR
            Systems recognized the importance of an up-to-date open
            Operating System and supports this project with
            Hardware. Thanks!.
  
          - Thanks to Intel Corporation for their precious help.
  
          - We teamed up with Cherry to make Linux the first OS with
            built-in USB support. Cherry is one of the biggest keyboard
            makers in the world.
  
          - CMD Technology, Inc. sponsored us kindly donating a CSA-6700
            PCI-to-USB Controller Board to test the OHCI implementation.
  
          - Due to their support to us, Keytronic can be sure that they
            will sell keyboards to some of the 3 million (at least)
            Linux users.

          - Many thanks to ing büro h doran [http://www.ibhdoran.com]!

            It was almost impossible to get a PC backplate USB connector
            for the motherboard here at Europe (mine, home-made, was
            quite lousy :). Now I know where to acquire nice USB stuff!
  
          - Genius Germany donated a USB mouse to test the mouse boot
            protocol. They've also donated a F-23 digital joystick and a
            NetMouse Pro. Thanks! 
  
          - AVM GmbH Berlin is supporting the development of the Linux
            USB driver for the AVM ISDN Controller B1 USB. AVM is a
            leading manufacturer for active and passive ISDN Controllers
            and CAPI 2.0-based software. The active design of the AVM B1
            is open for all OS platforms, including Linux.
  
          - Thanks to Y-E Data, Inc. for donating their FlashBuster-U
            USB Floppy Disk Drive, so we could test the bulk transfer
            code.
  
          - Many thanks to Logitech for contributing a three axis USB
            mouse. 
  
            Logitech designs, manufactures and markets
            Human Interface Devices, having a long history and
            experience in making devices such as keyboards, mice,
            trackballs, cameras, loudspeakers and control devices for
            gaming and professional use.
  
            Being a recognized vendor and seller for all these devices,
            they have donated USB mice, a joystick and a scanner, as a
            way to acknowledge the importance of Linux and to allow
            Logitech customers to enjoy support in their favorite
            operating systems and all Linux users to use Logitech and
            other USB hardware.
  
            Logitech is official sponsor of the Linux Conference on
            Feb. 11th 1999 in Vienna, where we'll will present the
            current state of the Linux USB effort.
  
          - CATC has provided means to uncover dark corners of the UHCI
            inner workings with a USB Inspector.
  
          - Thanks to Entrega for providing PCI to USB cards, hubs and
            converter products for development. 
  
  	- Thanks to ConnectTech for providing a WhiteHEAT usb to
  	  serial converter, and the documentation for the device to
  	  allow a driver to be written.
  
  	- Thanks to ADMtek for providing Pegasus and Pegasus II
  	  evaluation boards, specs and valuable advices during
  	  the driver development.
  	
          And thanks go to (hey! in no particular order :)

          - Mike Smith, Craig Keithley, Thierry Giron and Janet Schank
            for convincing me USB Standard hubs are not that standard
            and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the
            standard hub driver.
