+Credits for the Simple Linux USB Driver:
+

+order by last name).  I'm sure this list should be longer, its
+difficult to maintain, add yourself with a patch if desired.

+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.
+

+          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 :)

+          charge of composing, maintaining and feeding the
+          long-awaited, unique and marvelous UUSBD FAQ! Tadaaaa!!!
+
+        - Rasca Gmelch <thron@gmx.de> has revived the raw driver and
+          pointed bugs, as well as started the uusbd-utils package.

+          and that's good to allow for vendor specific quirks on the
+          standard hub driver.
