I have developed routines for Windows that address mass storage
devices using the Windows SCSIPASSTHROUGH layer. I found that USB
devices do not use this layer, and as a result I am also investigating
using python to access USB devices. So far it looks like a seperate
driver along with a interfaceing DLL will needed.
