The key phrase in your reply is "open the USB device".  You must have a
custom driver that you control, so that you could add ioctls to issue
the read and write commands.  KS said that he is using stock Microsoft
drivers.  The stock drivers do not expose any general purpose "vendor
command" ioctls.
