Greg,
Thanks for the response.
We have used a NetChip device in the past to implement USB in a
peripheral. What we are trying to do now is make that same device (it's a
scanner) using an ITX form factor PC mainboard instead of the Coldfire board
we use now. Trying to lower costs and move to a slightly faster level. The
problem seems to be that a PC does not want to be a peripheral. Even with a
host-to-host cable, I get 2 chiefs, and no indians! Any ideas would be greatly
appreciated.
