Point taken. I will try to find a copy of the second edition for less than USD$50. Actually, I think what I'll do is check out the 1st edition to see if I'm even capable of doing this. USB1.1 is all I need for my current idea, and the book should give me some insight into how this all works. _Then_ I'll buy the second book. By then I'll have made millions in the stock market, so I'll hire Olin to design it for me. Should take him roughly 10 minutes. :) Josh -- A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools. -Douglas Adams On 4/14/05, Jan-Erik Soderholm wrote: > Some highlights from the chapter "What's new in the Second Edition" : > > - USB 2.0. > - VC++ and VB code, 1'st edition had only VB code. > - Windows 2000 added. > - New USB chips and dev tools. > > I'd recomend the 2'nd edition.
