That's correct.  Simultaneous transmission to all motes over usb would
be difficult over a point to point link such as USB .  USB host
schedules transmissions to individual endpoints on a 1 ms granularity,
and depending on the precise timing of requests you may observe as
much as 2 ms between requests.   It sounds like if you want  motes to
receive a message simultaneously, a radio broadcast channel may be
appropriate.

Mmmm... Perhaps a better solution would be to use both USB and
radio... I have used SerialForwarder Multiplexer but I am not getting
very good results and I am thinking that using multiple instances of
SerialForwarder and mapping might be more work but in the end the
computer-mote communication should be more reliable this way...
