Johannes Erdfelt and a few others: http://sf.net/projects/libusb Development is reasonably active, but most of the new features are going into the 1.x branch. > User mode APIs for the host side of Linux are a bit problematic. > I understand that MS-Windows has an especially bogus model for > discovering devices, but the MacOS X is more reasonable; and > that neither offers the relatively full access Linux does. Still haven't collected my thoughts enough to post a proposal to libusb-devel: extending the API would be nice, but would require changes to all of the low-level libusb source files. Are you proposing the addition an alternate usb_open() function that could take a usbfs path? Not sure what the BSDs have in this vein, but I'm pretty sure that OS X doesn't have such a facility. Also, I don't think libusb supports Windows yet (AFAIK, you would need a VxD to do anything other than detect devices, and call HID functions), but I'd be happy to be proven wrong on that count. -- Charles Lepple <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.ghz.cc/charles/ ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Does your code think in ink?
