I'm looking to write a device driver for my Keyspan
USB -> Mac Serial adapter so I can attempt to use my
DeLorme GPS device under Linux (another step to aid me
in eliminating my need for MacOS). I think I posted to
this mailing list a while back asking for info, I'm
not sure.

I want to do the same.  I contacted Keyspan and they said "huh -
interesting" and I've heard nothing since.  That was 2-3 weeks ago.

The 2 port keyspan fob I have (USA28X) uses the Anchor EXUSB chip.
This means it needs code downloaded to it.  My hope was that Keyspan
would release a binary image (srecs) of their code load and we could
include it in the Linux driver.  This assumes they use a standard USB
interface to the serial ports...

Unfortunately there's no standard for USB serial ports.
