I'm planning on migrating this design across to a Cypress EZ-USB chip as 
soon as it's out of the "initial testing" stage. Basically I'm going to 
have an FX2lp chip on a bodge-board, then write the code, then do the 
PCB with the FX2lp. I'm sick of all the gotchas, catches and bugs in the 
PIC18F4550.

The catch being that I lose the option of asking Microchip for a VID/PID 
Sublicence -- meaning that I then have to pony up the $2k for a USB-IF 
Vendor ID allocation. Not an attractive prospect, especially when there 
isn't a chance in hell I'm going to find a use for 65,536 Product IDs. 
Maybe 10 or 11, but not 2^16...

(65,000 0805 0.1uf capacitors on the other hand... those I could 
probably use up quite quickly... :) )
