Hmm, as far as I can see, the reference code I have is for all 
nxt200x-revisions (nxt2000-nxt2005), there are some ifdef's for some 
revisions.

So I assume that maybe even the nxt2002-driver could work with your card 
when you load the correct firmware. This is most likely the hardest 
part: to get the firmware. It is somewhere inside the windows-driver.

Maybe this project can help: http://myhd.sourceforge.net/. They have done 
quite a lot reverse-engineering.

HTH,
Patrick.
