USB "driver letter" ??? That does not exist on Linux...

Anyway, this is not possible in Gambas 2 directly.

AFAIK, when you plug a device, the kernel warns the HAL daemon which then 
sends a signal on the DBUS system bus. This signal then can be catched by any 
application that ask for it on the DBUS system bus.

You cannot do that in Gambas without support for DBUS.

Maybe there is another way with a command-line tool, but I don't know.
