Re: [MBS] MacUSBMBS question
I see some added functionality in MacHIDMBS in the new PR, I'm ready to test. Is there some new documentation?

The event provides what comes in on interrupt. The ReadMessage methods can query other things or the same. You can try.

Re: [MBS] MacUSBMBS question
No worries, I'll use it in a thread so I can do constant ReadMessage without pausing the UI. Are there equivalent WinHIDMBS functions available?

I bet one of the system extensions was loaded to handle the device. You you need the device to try and work with it? A lot of clients choose to provide me a device for testing if they have problems.

[MBS] MacUSBMBS question
How hard is it to work with USB devices? I have a USB device and the manufacturer has given me a description of the protocol. I can connect to it sung MacHIDMBS but I can't communicate with it because I don't think this device is expecting to communicate using this method. When I try to connect to is using MacUSBMBS I get an error hE2C5 Google tells me that the device is already open. But this is impossible. No other program on my Mac could possibly communicate with it. Plus I've just plugged it in when I try to do a connection even after a restart. You you need the device to try and work with it?
