Do we need full-fledged support for USB drivers for iTunes? I've been told in the past that all we need to do is properly report the new USB drive to iTunes when an iPod is attached, and can leave the USB mass storage handling to the Linuy OS. Of course "properly reporting" isn't as simple as creating a drive letter and setting its type to USB drive.
I'm sorry to interrupt this nice project management discussion by throwing in a technical question :-)
It used to work that way, but Dan Kegel's analysis of a recent version of iTunes seems to indicate it now pulls in USBD.SYS. Maybe they changed it or maybe they now do direct USB I/O in addition to going through the mass storage interface?
