+You'll probably have issues where the host app can't detect the device with linux systems.

+If you don't have permission to write to the device you'll get an error message such as:

 This can be temporarily corrected by running as sudo
 But you'll want to update permissions so don't need to run as sudo
 need to create udev rule to give user permissions to device when inserted.

 The "Van Ooijen..." device is the INL-retroprog as noted with 16c0:05dc Vendor:Prod ID
 you can check current permissions by checking /dev/ location
 use the Bus number and Device number to check permissions on the INL retro-prog 
-I'm not sure if all unix systems place usb devices in this location..
+the initial error should point out the /dev/ location of the device
