just for info
 i have interfaced chips from http://www.ftdichip.com to pics, dead easy.
They have a parrallel one which is  effectivly 8 bit plus stobe which I
can run at up to about 5 mbitper sec or a serial version. They also have
a vitual com port driver for the pc end so that it apears as com 3 or 4.
this can be directly driven from hypeterm or  you VB prog. that way you
dont even have to know about USB, end pointd etc.
