I hereby do (and also exercise my authority of Prime NUT Senior  
Lieutenant to enforce this... :-)

1) What functionality is there in megatec_usb that isn't also present  
in blazer_usb? Remember that the first is scheduled to be replaced by  
the latter in the future.

2) If the above isn't feasible for now, consider reworking the megatec  
driver to be split in an interface independent core driver and two  
subdrivers that handle the serial and USB commnunication respectively.  
Something along the lines of the blazer core and blazer-ser and  
blazer-usb subdrivers. By doing so, you cleanly separate these  
interfaces, while keeping the common stuff neatly packages in one place.

Best regards, Arjen
