     Hello,

     if you can find the GL123 datasheet, I'd be interested to know 
where. I haven't been able to find it up to now. For the rest, adapting 
existing code by reversing the driver through USB logs is how I work. 
The genesys backend is the result of these 3 axes of work.

Regards,
     Stef
