Does anyone know of a driver > project, or shall I start one off? Is this better done in user-space? Did you look at the list of supported Linux USB devices linked off of www.linux-usb.org? And the linux-usb-devel mailing list is probably the better place for this kind of discussion. If your device looks like a USB Mass storage device, then a kernel driver modification might be needed. Otherwise you are probably better off using usbfs/libusb to talk to the device from userspace, which is what the other USB Rio devices do. Good luck, greg k-h
