Schoolbook example of failure to communicate between software and
hardware developers. Really annoying, because it is so unneccessary,
and users suffer as a result.

Can you provide some details about the device and the protocol? From
cursory surfing on http://www.microham.com/index1.html it seems that
the device falls into the trap of COM port emulation over USB,
instead of using a more efficient, tailor made, protocol.

This isn't the greatest starting point, but of course it is intended
to offer compatibility with existing software. Sometimes this is not
a good idea.

But please, if some details are known about the protocol failues with
this device, I would be happy to help come up with a solution.
