You tend to find that with USB devices in Linux - they either Just Plain
Work, or are totally unsupported.
I know a lot of people in here don't seem to like USB, but it reduces
all the device-to-host interfacing to a Small Matter Of Programming.
None of this tedious mucking about with IO ports, and interrupts, and
getting the timing absolutely bang on - you just read packets off the
interface ;-)

How about Mmmmmmm. I splashed solder on mine. Currently I have one
