Tasco USB microscope supported in Linux 4.1 kernel

5

Hello Tasco microscope owners who run Linux (basically @hamjudo I believe)!
After much time, the patch adding support for the (very mediocre) Tasco USB microscope is now in the upcoming Linux 4.1 kernel. I didn't write it.

It's actually surprisingly easy to add this (or any of the other media drivers) to your current system without switching to/compiling the 4.1 kernel.
