Re: Pinnacle PCTV 801e SE?

I actually spent most of today rebuilding my Win32 dev environment so
I can start getting some usb traces and work on it this week.

Certainly it makes sense to coordinate.  I was going to start working
on the xc5000 integration.  If you want to take a look at the S5H1411,
that would be great.
