Date: Fri, 18 Jul 2003 15:22:12 -0500 I would love to have an interface like this. I'd like to see something that everyone can use also. I would like to see some platform independence built into such a project. I'd like to see it work on Linux, OS X, and (I don't know why exactly) Windows. I've been pretty dedicated to Linux for the last 8 or 9 years until I picked up a 12" powerbook a few months ago. Solaris would be nice...anyone considering writing archos usb drivers for Solaris?????
