Thanks for the response FB

I have installed Win2003 server DDK, now I peruse the samples to find
the most appropriate to start with. Any ideas? The device that I
need to talk to is proprietary, C8051F320 microcontroller. That we do
have control of...

I think that the toaster sample gives a good place to start to get a
feel of what is entailed, but perhaps lacks the USB details that I
will finally need.

Have you ever done a USB device, you certainly sound seasoned?
