Lpc2000

Paul,

The USB stack I suggested Philips make available for the LPC2148 would 
obviously require the PC end (just like Silabs offer, as I mentioned).
I must have been one of the customers to benefit from your fixes :)

Regarding Micrium, are you aware of the cost of their USB stack ? 
$3725 for the embedded end (includes embedded source & compiled XP 
driver) & $5000 for the XP driver source ? Maybe they'll strike a deal 
with Philips but I doubt it'll be cheap...

Dave
