Controlling External Devices

[Jeffrey Reynolds]

this is also the feedback i got when i asked a few folks about the 
possibility of doing usb communications. highly variable depending on 
the hardware you are talking to. not as simple as the good olde serial 
signal. Hopefully most things we will want to control will hop over usb 
to a net connection... although there are a few input devices like 
magnetic card scanners that are moving to usb and would be nice to 
easily access from rev.

cheers,

jeff
