A Linux driver for the Data Translation DT24 data grabber
---------------------------------------------------------

The driver is written for the 2.2 series of kernels: 2.4 support could
be added, but was not warranted with the existing hardware.

To use the DT24 driver you need to make the .o file using the Makefile

$ make

then install the module:

$ insmod ./dt24driver.o

the kernel will print a message saying which major number has been
allocated.

dt24: got major 254

if you have not already done so, you need to create a device with this
major number:

mknod dt24 c 254 0

then simply point your client at this device, configure using ioctls
and read as fast as possible.

NB: the driver will not stop filling the buffers if the reader is
unable to keep up - in this case write to a file and read out the data
at the reduced rate.
