Hi Alan,

This conversation is becoming very complex, with multiple threads addressing 
different aspects of the question.

I did mention in one of the other postings that multiple drivers were not 
precluded.  It would be perfectly valid to register multiple drivers for the 
same VID/PID combination.  

This would be the exception, but it would certainly support the situations 
which you suggested.

Thanks for your response.

Best regards.

Leigh Bassett
