There isn't even an offical ID for "experimental" or "locally assigned" products (or there wasn't the last time I looked). For some reason they seem to be actively trying to prevent USB becoming popular except with large companies that can afford to be a member of their select group (it is possible to simply buy a product ID, but they don't advertise the fact at all because they want you to pay a large annual fee for full membership instead). Somebody ought to buy a vendor ID, and then sell the individual product IDs to hobbyists and self employed developers for $5 each or something... -- ------- Alex Holden ------- http://www.linuxhacker.org/ http://www.robogeeks.org/
