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. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.

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.
