05e3 is Genesys's vendor ID; it will always be the same.  The GL devices
causing all the trouble use Product IDs 0700, 0701, and 0702.  I believe
that the same interface will report itself as either 0701 or 0702,
depending on the type of IDE device installed (disk vs. optical).  The
Revision number might be useful, or it might not.

Well, my rather faint hope is that if enough of their customers start
bothering the technical people at Genesys, maybe it'll attract their
attention to the point where someone starts looking into the problem.  I
don't have any leverage with them because I don't own any of their
devices.  As paying customers, you, Brad, and all the other people
contributing to this discussion do.  But since they are only OEM suppliers
(their interfaces are sold to other companies who then incorporate them
into their own products), this approach is likely not to work.
