No, it's more than that. HID devices that are not of a type directly claimed by the operating system (keyboards, mice) can be accessed by user-mode programs very easily on both Linux and Windows, without writing a custom driver. For low-bandwidth data sources, USB HID is an excellent way to provide general-purpose access to a USB device. -- Tim Roberts, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
