I won't, but maybe someone else will.

But unless what you need to do is one of the things it is intended for then it is not a very good choice of tool for solving your problem. > As a matter of facts, I do need libusbx for certain functions...

It's great that you like the libusb-1.0 API, but why spend more time trying to use it if it doesn't do what you need? That's a confusing approach. > > and instead look at the storage subsystem and SCSI domain. > > Where would you suggest I look? I'm afraid I don't have a suggestion for a library that abstracts raw SCSI commands across many different systems. In any case, the very first thing I suggest that you do is to get to the bottom of what exactly you need. While that is still unclear it's much too early to consider individual tools. //Peter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ WINDOWS 8 is here.
