Thank you, it doesn't seem to list one. Perhaps there aren't any, or the 
XD100 doesn't have critical mass any more.

Not a Fedora question I know -- but is it hard to write a driver for 
these devices? Could I author one as an unwashed device driver newbie 
and expect to succeed? I am an experienced applications programmer, but 
I've never written a device driver before.

Thanks
