 provides direct control of a Casio high-speed camera over USB.

That is the consumer camera that has some high frame rate shooting modes, useful for extreme slow motion on the cheap.

How easy is it to port this to work within an Max external? Is there anyone out there who could do it? Some funding might be available.

I'll look into doing it myself, but I'm a real beginner when it comes to developing Max externals.

Won't be so easy, by the looks of it it's still pretty untested (hasn't been tested with libusb).

The jit.freenect external code on github might give you a place to start?
