Michael,

Theres plenty of information out there about mixing Ruby and C, so it
shouldnt be hard to implement Ruby functions in C that twiddle the
right bits in Windows to do USB. The difficult part will be getting
enough info about the protocol the rowing machine uses to do anything
useful.

Good luck,
spooq
