It is *very* unlikely that this is going to work. The 'lakeview' driver is essentially for a contact-closure-over-USB interface. As far as I know, the Mustek Powermust 600VA uses the Megatec protocol over USB. The fact that it is reported to work with the 'megatec' driver on the RS232 interface is also a strong indication for that. In that case, the 'megatec_usb' driver would be appropriate. Unfortunately, neither the 'agiler' nor 'krauler' subdrivers appear to work for this device (search the archives for this), so we probably need to write a third subdriver. If you're willing to work with us, we might do that. Another, much easier way, is to use a serial-to-USB converter that can be bought for around 10 nowadays. This will provide your system with a serial interface, so that you can use the RS232 interface with the 'megatec' driver.
