{NHW,FH} There are two versions of GNU Mac that are in use: GNU Mach 1.x and GNU Mach 2.x, formerly known as OSKit-Mach. The former uses the drivers from Linux 2.0.x while the latter uses the University of Utah’s OSKit library for drivers. You can find out more about the OSKit library at: http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit GNU Mach 2.x is usable, but some things are still missing or not working, like the serial port and scsi drivers. This is why GNU Mach 2.0 hasn’t released yet and the two versions coexist.
