BACKPACK USB (and USB2.0) now working in Linux

Howdy all,

I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that Micro Solutions
has just made available the "BACKPACK USB Loader".

It is available here:
http://www.micro-solutions.com/software_library/linux/index3.html

This package provides the firmware and scripts to allow
"BACKPACK USB" products (including USB2 products) to be used with the
"linux-usb-storage" driver.

This package ties into the usb-hotplug layer, so that the drive may simply
be plugged in and it will be recognized as a linux-usb-storage device.

This package depends on the linux-hotplug and fxload packages.
If your distribution is missing these packages, you may wish to obtain them
at:
http://linux-hotplug.sourceforge.net/
(look in the USB section)

Thanks go to the usb-hotplug and linux-usb teams as well as the author of
fxload.  Oh and of course the obligatory thanks to all linux kernel
developers for doing a great job.

Hope this will help all Linux users of BACKPACK products,

Ken Hahn
Engineer, Micro Solutions
