Hopefully, this list will one day be obsoleted by DEVFS, but for now
this is the current allocation of device major numbers.

For local use, you are encouraged to use the reserved numbers.

If you intend the driver to be available, send email to the
hackers@freebsd.org mailing list to see about having a number
reserved for you.

The most "complete" version of this will be the one in FreeBSD-current.
(see http://www.freebsd.org/ or from ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/FreeBSD/)

We are developing a device driver of Smart Capture Card. Smart Capture Card is a kind of video capture card, PCMCIA type II, and made by IBM Japan co.. Unfortunately, it is sold in Japan now. The device driver is working on the latest pccard-test package by Tatsumi HOSOKAWA and bsd-nomads. Some applications are also working. For example, xscc is a video moniter client on X-window, vic-2.7b2 is a video conference tool. We have a contract with IBM Japan. From the contract, we cannot release the source code exept the permit of IBM Japan. But I think they will permit us in few weeks.
