While there are indeed drivers based on the same FX2 chip in your device, it may be possible to reuse an existing driver, or you may need a whole new driver, depending on how much the firmware varies between your product versus the others. You may want to look at the pvrusb2 and cxusb drivers, which also use the FX2 chip, and see what similarities exist in terms of the API and command set. If it is not similar to any of the others, then writing a new driver is probably the correct approach. Regards, Devin -- Devin J. Heitmueller http://www.devinheitmueller.com AIM: devinheitmueller
