Larry,

	Thanks for sending the letter and being helpful and open with
technical info.  I personally am probably not the person to port the
driver to plan 9, there are probably much more experienced indivduals on
the 9fans mailing list who could take a better shot at it.  This is being
sent to that list in the hopes that somebody else will pick up this thread
with you...  If you'd like to join the 9fans list, send mail to
9fans-request@cse.psu.edu.

	Brandon
