GPS-CS1 mounts on Linux - confirmed

I can personally confirm that the GPS-CS1 mounts as a removable drive on Linux (Ubuntu in my test) without any additional drivers or modifications. This is significant for two reasons:

1 - Mac OS is now the only major OS that doesn't support this device
2 - Mac OS X is based on Unix, so shouldn't be that different from Linux - so this shouldn't be an insurmountable problem.

Here's the data I captured from Ubuntu - first the output for lsusb -v for the device:

Now screenshots from Device Manager. As some of these strings are cropped, if there's any data you want to see in full, please let me know.
