Nice, does the driver use the usb-storage spec, or is it a vendor
specific protocol?

Well the 2.4 USB BK tree is about to start having a lot of changes in
it, as the 2.5 backport starts getting added.  So it might diverge a bit
from the main 2.4 kernel for a while until things get sorted out, so
consider yourself forwarned :)

Either way, I'll take patches generated against either the latest USB BK
tree, or the "official" bk tree, or against the kernel.org tarballs, I'm
flexible too :)
