This will be the book that wakes up the sleeping OS development.

This book explains, from the beginning, how to write code to communicate with the USB, to be able to write a driver for the
four major types of USB controllers; the UHCI, OHCI, EHCI, and the new xHCI. It explains how to send requests to the
devices attached, to return the device's descriptors to be able to configure and use the devices. Some examples include drives,
mice, keyboards, printers, and external hubs. This is all done without any outside help. In other words, you are communicating
directly with the hardware. You are not relying on an existing operating system's function calls. This book also contains example
descriptions of why your driver may not be working and then gives details on how to fix it. If you are an operating system
development enthusiast, a beginner or a more advanced developer, this is a book for your desk.

The author fully supports this book and upon request and receipt of purchase, will send you an .ISO image with example source
code to retrieve a device's Device Descriptor, plugged in to one of the four controller types, along with other source code
described within the book.

For those who are interested in. The book seems be available here.

Thanks.

Mike,

Thanks for the kind words on the newsgroup and forums.
I appreciate it.

I should have a finalized .iso image in a few days. I will
send it then. Would you rather have it .zipped down or
just as with the first one I sent.

Thanks,
Ben
