Ok Guillaume,
Now we know that it's not a hid-ups. And as they say in the
mail the protocol is the same as the serial.
So don't know what to go from here. Maybe hacking the cypress
serial driver. and try to use that port for the blazer driver.
Or use the same layout as the bcmxcp_usb driver.
But is i a 'true' serial-to-usb it need som handling to set up.
We can se if one of the 'hid' gurus on the list have any idea.
Regards
Kjell
