    You have NO idea 😉 …

    There are some “ancient” DIY USB-Blaster projects out there in the wild… like this Japanese one from 2009:

    … or this one (based on the Japanese one) from 2011:

    It’s essentially not that complicated to build a USB-Blaster clone – you only need a programmable microcontroller with USB interface and some passive components. Everything else “just” lies in your skills in understanding JTAG and USB communication and in programming 😉 …

    EDIT:
    I just saw that Doug Brown just recently had a new blogpost about fixing your USB-Blaster Linux problem 😉 :

    Ironically you need another functioning USB-Blaster zu flash the modified firmware onto it 😀 :
