Yo Attila! First, my apologes for getting this thread started. I misunderstood Mark's design to have USB, when in fact it did not. Late night brain fart. So any USB discussion is unrelated to his work.

I 100% agree with Attila. The problem is all USB 1.1 devices are by
definition USB 2.0 Compliant. So in a sense Herbet is right. He is
corectly reading the marketing literature that says "USB 2.0".
But, I refuse to say a device is USB 2.0 unless it actually does
something that is in the USB 2.0 spec and not the USB 1.1 spec. That
usually mean High Speed instead of Full Speed.
I know that PPS over USB is laughable to a time-nut, but to me the
approximately 8x improvement in precision is very noticeable for
any host (laptop/desktop) unlucky enough to not have a real serial port
Full Speed is polled about every 1 milliSec, High speed is polled about
every 125 microSec. A real serial port can get down to a microSec, or
better, and of course even that is laughable to most of you guys, but I'm
looking more mass market.
Once again, sorry to start the confusion...
