Just a side note before becoming excited about USB:
AFAIK (but I could be wrong), USB has no real interrupts
but always works in some sort of 'polled' mode. There could
be latency issues with USB devices if you need really fast response.

Kevin,
At SLAC, one of the RF physicists started using USB. To keep
matters simple, he developed subroutines with which he could write
to and read from USB. We then hook these in with subroutine
records when time comes to put EPICS on it.
I'd also like to see some real USB driver-supported stuff.

Subject: USB interface with EPICS
Is anyone using the USB interface with EPICS? Of particular
interest is the ThorLabs APT series.
Thanks,
