Hi,

        I have a working linux driver for the lego USB tower; so far
it has only been tested on kernel 2.4.14 on a uhci system, where it

on their own system (to use it, you will need to be able to compile

a PIPE subclass (code also available); pbForth requires a simple
program to connect the lego device to a pseudo-terminal device, so
that a terminal can talk to the brick.
