That's only true for USB drives. There are plenty of other things that can be plugged into a USB port, like modems, joysticks, missile launchers, etc.

A USB device isn't connected to a port. It is assigned a drive letter and is a removable drive on the computer. You access it like you would access any local resource. You don't need a 3rd party tool to do this, but you do need to be running in the local or trusted sandbox. You can't access a local resource (directly) from a web page.

Pedro, I have been checking out Zinc and it has a COMPort class which I beleive is I/O communication. when I did a quick test to check whether it could detect some USB device, I only got connaction with COM1, COM2 which i beleive are the serial and parallel port, no? Anyone else? _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
