Do you intend also to translate the code of these usb modules? Or do you
expect these C modules to link statically with the Pascal code? If that is
possible, you might need to define an interface to the C module, in the
Pascal code.

Sort out these possibilities first before worrying about translating the
rest of the code. If linking Pascal to C is feasible, then you may need not
need to translate at all... Just modify this module so that it can be linked
in the same way to a small Pascal program that just calls an entry point in
the C.

Yes, these are all the easy bits. The code here can be translated
mechanically. It's all the code that isn't here that is the problem.
