HID: eating input events?



Hi,

We have a HID device which uses input and output reports for
organizing a simple duplex byte-stream between the host and
the device.  That is, to send the string "ABC" to the host,
the device produces four input reports, the first containing
the value 65 (ASCII for 'A'), the second containing the value
66, and so on.

This works perfectly on Panther; but on Tiger, if the next
value of the element is the same as the previous value,
queue->getNextEvent() never reports the second event.  In this
way, "ABBBCDDE" becomes "ABCDE".

There are a few devices which are broken by this behavior:
our RBI-1 and KTI-1 token initializers, and also certain
magnetic-strip card readers will report a swipe through a
report containing a long number, so you can only swipe the
same card once.

Is there any way around this?

Boris
