Hi Matt,
That Linux support is not new, it has been there since I started working on the drivers. I was discouraged by this document for the Linux support:
ftp://lx10.tx.ncsu.edu/pub/Linux/drivers/USB/README_mcc_usb
The document is old (2008), so perhaps it no longer applies. But it states that the fastest performance they could get was 50 kHz, which is an order of magnitude slower than the Windows drivers from Measurement Computing.
That being said, I believe that Keenan Lang from APS BCDA has been working on Linux drivers for these devices. I have not yet seen any official release from him, but I have CC'd him on this message so he can respond directly.
I also believe that the accelerator group at APS got Linux support working for some models which are used for the APS vibration monitoring system. Again, I don't think that have released their drivers.
Mark

Hi Mark,
I was looking at your package for measurement computing
devices below. Their website now links to open source Linux
drivers written in C. Have you seen this yet? And are you
planning to incorporate this into your existing epics support?
Thanks,
-Matt
