I think winehq may still be interested in working with us on it as Aric
Stewart is planning on adding support for mass stoage drivers "ipod usb
and frirewire" to Wine. We looked at using libusb to develop a common
interface that can be shared on Linux and ReactOS but he has had to
work on other things so it might be some time before more work is done.

Thanks
