OK, that's a good start. I've got experience writing Unix device drivers 
in C and assembler but haven't tackled USB stuff yet. I'd like to make 
it work for my situation first (libusb on FreeBSD 4.8) then work with 
the community on the general solution. I was mainly worried that the 
lack of activity in the 2300C thread meant it wasn't do-able. I'll be 
posting my progress on http://www.worldwins.net (look for the virtual 
scanner in a couple of days)
