The kernel USB stuff is pretty primitive right now. It would take a lot<br>
of work IMHO.<br>

<i>&gt; &gt; I have asked Nikon about the LS-30/LS-2000 interface specifications</i><br>

<i>&gt; Of</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; course this policy may very well change at any time and at least it wasn't</i><br>
<i>&gt; a</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; plain 'no'...</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt;</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; As to how much the LS-20/1000 differ from the LS-30/2000 interface, I have</i><br>
<i>&gt; &gt; really no idea, sorry.</i><br>
