[Nottingham] ITE8212 driver

[Michael Carmody]

I originally joined this list because of issues with the ITE driver, and I'm 
based in melbourne, australia.

I stuck around just for a sneak peek at how other LUG's work...being a member 
of the Melbourne LUG.

Anyway I would be most interested in testing the driver. I currently have only 
a DVD-Rom running on the ITE bus, so corruption of data is less of an issue, 
but may complicate other matters.
