5. Are you allowed to port their Intellectual Property to another OS? Will they own it if you do?

6. Have you ever done any programming? Writing a device driver is not something I'd recommend as a first project.
First off, Thanks for the help.

This is a intel based computer and the device i'm trying to control is a added peripheral on a Elo Touch Monitor. The POS System i'm using is asking for either a modem or Printer Port for the pole display. Which would be this device i'm trying to connect.

I've was on the phone yesterday with the company trying to get the source code but they can't release soft code out to customers. So all i really have is the Linux installers and data that came with it.

I told them i would give them the driver when i was done porting it for unix but after hearing a few chinese words from them they still wouldn't give me the soft code. So I'm guessing they don't care. I just need it for my two POS System. After I'm complete i will e-mail it to them, if they want it, they can have it.

I have never done any programming but i'm a quick learner and i have xcode i'm my side along with x11.
