Grab your Phillips, it's...
The Latest from The Screwdriver List!
If you are thinking of writing a driver for a USB device, I strongly
suggest you get a copy of Jan Axelson's "USB Complete" first and study it
carefully. It will give you loads of useful, well-targeted information on
the ins-and-outs of USB driver writing.
Disclaimer: I reviewed a prepublication copy and now have a copy of the
published work, but that is my only connection with this book. I just think
it is a very well done treatment of exactly what you need to know.
