Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

does anyone know a way to get a linux or bsd machine talking to an XL7 via 
USB? or any other way to backup data to/from the XL7 without using a 
proprietary operating system?

i really wish the XL7 had a way to represent itself to a host computer as 
a generic "box of files", and just have a bunch of "folders" filled with 
"files" that i could copy back and forth. that would accomplish my backup 
needs without anything too fancy.

my digital camera has an option to present itself to the host computer as 
either a camera or "just" a pile of pictures (like a flash drive), which 
is perfect.

thanks...
