I'm working on a kernel mode driver for Linux for the IR Tower.
Overall from everything I've figured out, this is just a USB Serial device;
porting code in win32 from COM1 (Serial interface from old serial one) ->
LEGOTOWER1 (The USB Tower device name inside windows) was relatively
trivial.
I'm learning Linux USB now; if anyone has experience they can contribute
that would be great ... I'd like to tackle Open and FreeBSD at some point as
well.
