Re: [Elecraft] KUSB Adaptor

I don't think writing the drivers is a herculean task but then I used to do that back when drivers did everything (such as mag tape equipment from the 1960s era where microprocessors did not exist and everything was controlled by the software interrupt level driver). Chip level drivers and USB
