I-PAC programming tool
arkanoid:
OK. Didn't realize what you were looking for. However, I still don't think you'll find it all that useful. I think the Ultrastik is programmed via HID control messages. You can find some info on libhid if you look around.
OK, just got some programming info from Andy. I was completely wrong. The ipacutil code would be quite similar. In fact, I think I might as well add support for the Ultrastik too. Guess I'll add it to the list.
My next USB project is for the PACDrive product. It should be coming soon.
arkanoid:
In case anyone is following along, I now have a working Pac-Drive control program for Linux. I have some cleanup/packaging to do, but a command-line version should be released in the next day or so.
The GUI (for testing) and Python library will be following shortly.
After that, it might be cool to add it to some front-ends (I've been using MAMEd lately, but wah!cade would be cool too) and MAME. Think spy hunter, etc. :)

Cool beans! Post a news item when you have that ready as well?

Sure thing, will do.
I also forgot to mention earlier that the GUI for ipacutil is also ready for download. So far, I have only posted deb packages, so it's most useful for Debian or Ubuntu users. It could probably be converted with alien, but I'll get a tarball up shortly too.
Here's a (lousy) screen shot:
arkanoid:
I released the Pac-Drive utility today. It can be downloaded from http://www.zumbrovalley.net/pacdrive/
Currently, it is packaged as three parts
1) The main (command-line) program, pacdrive
2) A (currently VERY) simple GUI for testing
3) A Python library for controlling the pac-drive
There is more work to do, but it is quite usable at this point.
Currently, just a tarball is up, so you will have to compile it yourself. I'll be adding Debian packages soon.
Also, for those following along, the ipacutil GUI has had a number of bug fixes recently (thanks for the testing, Tiago). There are also some new features and improvements being worked on.
