<P><FONT SIZE=2>E-mail him at hpa@zytor.com or hpa@transmeta.com. He just provided a major number for me for Systran's SCRAMNet mirrored memory network. His only condition for assigning new major numbers is that a) the device name be relatively self explanatory, and b) that a driver already be in the works.</FONT></P>
