Could opensource GPL USB driver for NT4 be help for implementing USB in ReactOS?

[Minas Abrahamyan]

Hi all,

The subj.

I'm talking about Woodhead's GPL USB driver:
* Original page (and site) is dead ("Woodhead--NT4--USB"
http://www.geocities.com/mypublic99/index.html )

* But files are backed up, for example, here:
[ftp://piekraste.daba.lv/pub/Service_Pack/NT_4/NT4_USB/HS/]
(or look into internet wayback machine)

Regards,
M.A.

Don't worry, we have assimilated it years ago!

But I've read that this one was working on NT4, does it here in ROS
assimilated and adopted such way it here works too?
Am I missing something and we have working USB driver?

USB keyboards and mice can work if you're lucky, but that driver does not
implement the entire USB standard.  Therefore for anything more complicated
we need a genuine USB stack, not just a driver.

I'm not against full USB stack, but if it could work for block
devices, it would be great, especially for debugging on standalone
machines.
And what I've read about was just about them: "Supports USB Storage
devices only (e.g. Flash, HDD)"
from here (Alter's site): http://alter.org.ua/en/docs/win/nt4_usb/

So now after adoption it supports sometimes keyboards and mice, but
doesn't support storage devices? what a metamorphose :)
