I've tried the "run" driver which seems to be pretty close to working.

See http://homepage2.nifty.com/mrym3/taiyodo/eng/

I recompiled version 0.8.5 and installed it.

Added my driver alias:
update_drv -a -i '"usb13b1,2f"' run

... but the microcode fails to load when I plug in the usb stick.

I have been meaning to contact the driver author Masa, to see if we can
figure it out, but I've been too busy.
