Re: USB driver vendor id/product id list?



The uniqueness of ids was not the issue. It was having a database that would
list the drivers available for a given device, open source or commerical.


At the same time, pcidatabase.com is for PCI devices, not for USB devices.

I believe it is up to the vendors to ensure product ids are unique. I do now
know who ensures vendor ids are unique. Perhaps the USB-IF, www.usb.org.

Would it be feasible a) for Apple to compile a list

No, I can't see how or why Apple would do that. Too much effort for too little return. Apple wants their developers to make money.

or at least
provide one where people
could add entries

That's <http://www.pcidatabase.com>

and b) for a tool to be provide to MacOS X to
actually look up this
information.

That's "ioreg -l" in a terminal window. System Profiler also provides this information.
