I've looked at these devices many times and I really wanted to buy one, but the lack of a Linux driver has always stopped me. I even contacted Seiko in the US, but they were extremely unwilling to cooperate. They still live in a different world and seem to consider the protocol specifications their crucial, proprietary, secret and competitive company assets, ridiculous as that may sound. That's a very impressive job you have done and I guess I'll be rushing to buy an InkLink device soon :-) If you haven't E-mailed Werner Almesberger yet, it might be time to do so -- I know he had tried to guess the protocol and I think he might have an InkLink device. --J.
