program. Is that logical? Without a high-end processor (ie V.5 ColdFire at
a decent ie. > 333 MHz) I do not think so.
This project is doomed in any case. As I see the current situation we hardly have the manpower to write a decent "Hello world" application, leave alone something as complex as an USB driver.
Far more feasible would be to use an external USB printer server in conjunction with an Ethernet card and a TCP/IP stack (if it ever appears in full. But if that doesn't materialize, how should an USB stack?).
This only solves the data transport problem, of course.
Exactly right. THis is in every case a catch 22 situation.
