Well I'm working on a platform independent library (UniverC) as many here maybe have read once.
Among other things I have got the idea -but not really a clue- of a raw device communication library, named interfc.lib.
It shall allow communication over standard bus systems - USB, FireWire, Ethernet like over RS232/Parallel Port.
This time I've got not the focus on it so I can't tell whether it is possible somehow to talk to the (USB) devices without a fixed driver, i.e. send to device #13 001A0D44 or something like this.
But if - and I'm convinced it is - you would become able to write platform independent "drivers" through this library.
Well, it's senseless for mouses and keyboards, but it may aid you with printers, scanners and webcams - even joysticks.
And if someone writes such pseudo-driver for one platform, it's working immediately on any UniverC-supported platform. This is very interesting for the nearly forgotten platforms.
