Forgive my ignorance (for it is LARGE), but not being a driver developer, or all that familiar with USB protocols, but what is a "bulk endpoint". Any readme references would be fine, not looking for a full explaination here. > > > Anyone have a lead, or ideas on where else to look?

I'd be happy to give it a try, I have a few free evenings coming up, but I'll confess again, I have never tweaked driver code, or sniffed USB protocol, so I'll need some coaching and documentation to get started.
