Re: USB & DOS: BUGs fixed, mass storage, printing

The reader sample does read a sector from a MultiCardReader. One could
extend this sample or write a block device driver to have DOS recognize
the reader as a mass storage device.

The printer driver has been tested with a new HP laserprinter. This has
a USB and a parallel port. HP specified several printers which
supported ESC/P via USB, however, these are the more expensive ones.

Writing drivers for GDI printers is a lot of work and has been done for
some printers for Linux.
