As you found out, that's not going to really work :) I suggest you contact the vendor to try to get the protocol used to talk to this device. Or take it apart and see if it has a chip in it that we already have a driver for (like the pl2303 or ftdi_sio driver.) Then just add your device id to that driver and you should be fine.
