Presentation:
'Easy Access to USB-Devices from eCS Userland'

This presentation will explain how a Generic USB-Driver (Wim Brul's usbecd.sys) can be
accessed easily from eCS Userland. To free many eCS users from the complicated task to
programm a USB Device Driver is its main intention. As much more people are able to create
applications, this poster presentation may help a lot of us. What is needed?
A Python-Wrapper (Pyrex) and a DLL only. Written in Watcon C, the DLL will export the
device specific functions and the Wrapper is needed to make the DLL functions accessable
from Python.
How it all works is shown with the Experimental USB-I/O Board 'VELLEMAN K8055'.
