Well it seems that due to political reasons spurred on by license
disagreements, the comedi authors no longer actively support rtlinux and
comedi.  They prefer you use RTAI.  So much so that in the latest CVS
versions of comedi you cannot even compile it against RTLinux.

David:

Would it be trivial or difficult if someone (namely me, as I volunteer
to try it) were to attempt to fix the cvs version of comedi so that it
works against RTLinux?  I tried it briefly once by fixing a few header
files but I think it just crashed the system anyway...
