	That would be ideal.  I have the source for the Linux driver 
	available (which includes the x86driver, Linux usb driver, and 
	userland apps) at:

		http://www.rapidnet.com/~nick/lilliput/touchkit.tgz

	I REALLY want to get a usb driver written for this thing.  Too bad 
	I know jack squat about the usb stack in FreeBSD.  I guess it's 
	time to do some serious learning.

	Any pointers would be helpful.  I could use some help if you or 
	anyone is interested and doesn't mind answering stupid questions.
