This isn't a very informative post.

The only thing i can say is that i have no access to a 64 bit machine at
all (neither Alpha,  nor Ultra Sparc, nor AMD64), so i  can't say at all
if this driver has a chance to work correctly.

The driver's code is probably  safe (there is no abuse of pointers<->int
conversions),  but as you  say, maybe  the usb  interface is  not mature
enough in 64bit... dunno. Maybe duncan knows a bit more.
