Hi,
We have a recurring project (but no time) for developping a solution
with a data acquisition Card from NI.
Unfortunately, these devices are USB and therefore dependent on the
manufacturer's Driver. As Win machines represent 95% of the market not
many manufacturer are willing to develop for Mac machines...
I regret the time when we had good old serial devices (and ports)
without Drivers problem.
An ophtalomologist asked me to develop a little soft to be able to load
datas from his instruments directly in his Mac, but I am very reluctant
as again the only solution would be to use a Keyspan device which
doesn't always work properly.
Same apply for Suunto diving computer, Legos (don't know about the last
version thought)... Very frustrating.
My question is : Is it that difficult to make a kind of
"generic-configurable" driver for USB devices, which used to work with
simple Serial Ports not that long ago?
Cheers,
Youri

Not exactly science perhaps but the latest edition of Lego's robotic
training kit Mindstorms seems to use a visual edition of Labview. The
good news is that it now runs on both Macs and Windows and it is
controlled via a USB device. It can however be a bit tedious to work
with, so my question is has anyone tried to do something in RB?
