There should be a domain logitech.com. I suppose they have a Website and there<br>
|
|
you should find pointer to their technical and marketing staff.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Step on both of them adjusting the weight and rhythm to their desires ;-)<br>
|
|
I.e. tell the marketing folks they might sell more units with Linux-support<br>
|
|
and the technical folks how cool it would be to be supported on a real OS.<br>

I will gladly try to help, if you want to take the challenge, but you will<br>
|
|
need at least basic knowledge of electronics and how to wield a soldering iron<br>
|
|
if you want to monitor the parallel port in hardware or a solid knowledge<br>
|
|
of WinDoze drivers to do it on the software-side.<br>
|
|
<p>
|
|
If this is not the case, you should try to find somebody who thinks (s)he can<br>
|
|
do it. The problem is, that you need to have the hardware handy to write a <br>
|
|
driver. I and David can probably fill your ears for some hours with stories<br>
|
|
about "blind-flight-driver-development" ... ;-)<br>
