I just had to add one line to it to recognize the newer hardware and it works like a charm. Annoyingly, the installed binary is called ezdownload, so it took awhile to find the thing after it installed. Included is the patch to add the line, tell me if you don't understand patches (patch file.c < file.patch) - basically just open it and add the line that starts with "+" manually to the mentioned file - everyone always assumes everyone with a *nix box is a super-hacker, and I sure ain't. I tried pestering the ezdownload maintainer/author (can't remember which) to add my patch and make a new release, but I never heard back. Guess I will have to follow up on that - don't love patching 20 programs every time I bring up a new box, and I haven't heard of old hardware in several years, making ezload pretty much irrelevant without the patch - everything uses the "fx2" cypress usb devices now. I'll ask you a question in return - what software & drivers do you use with the m-audio stuff? I've got an m-audio UNO USB<->MIDI dongle I've never attempted to plug in - maybe you can point me in the direction of the apps I need to make it go!
