-(Compaq and others) hardware port should work.
+A host with a USB port running a Linux kernel with RIO 500 support enabled.
 
-A Linux development kernel (2.3.x) with USB support enabled or a
-backported version to linux-2.2.x.  See http://www.linux-usb.org for
-more information on accomplishing this.
+The driver is a module called rio500, which should be automatically loaded
