-===========================
-FREE USB-IDs FOR SHARED USE
-===========================
-
-Objective Development has reserved a set of USB Product-IDs for use according
-to the guidelines outlined below. For more information about the concept of
-USB IDs please see the file USB-ID-FAQ.txt. Objective Development guarantees
-that the IDs listed below are not used by any USB compliant devices.
-
-
-====================
-MECHANISM OF SHARING
-====================
-
-From a technical point of view, two different devices can share the same USB
-Vendor- and Product-ID if they require the same driver on operating system
-level. We make use of this fact by assigning separate IDs for various device
-classes. On application layer, devices must be distinguished by their textual
-name or serial number. We offer separate sets of IDs for discrimination by
-textual name and for serial number.
-
-Examples for shared use of USB IDs are included with V-USB in the "examples"
-subdirectory.
-
-
-======================================
-IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY TEXTUAL NAME
-======================================
-
-If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software
-must conform to these rules:
-
-(1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the manufacturer
-and product identification. The manufacturer identification MUST be available
-at least in USB language 0x0409 (English/US).
-
-(2) The textual manufacturer identification MUST contain either an Internet
-domain name (e.g. "mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail
-address under your control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"). You can embed the domain
-name or e-mail address in any string you like, e.g. "Objective Development
-http://www.obdev.at/vusb/".
-
-(3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail
-address for as long as any of your products are in use.
-
-(4) You may choose any string for the textual product identification, as long
-as this string is unique within the scope of your textual manufacturer
-identification.
-
-(5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the textual manufacturer
-and product identification in addition to VID/PID matching. The driver
-matching MUST be a comparison of the entire strings, NOT a sub-string match.
-
-(6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the
-operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system
-driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or
-libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and
-http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/).
-
-Table if IDs for discrimination by textual name:
-
-PID dec (hex) | VID dec (hex) | Description of use
-==============+===============+============================================
-1500 (0x05dc) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For Vendor Class devices with libusb
---------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
-1503 (0x05df) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For generic HID class devices (which are
- | | NOT mice, keyboards or joysticks)
---------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
-1505 (0x05e1) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For CDC-ACM class devices (modems)
---------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
-1508 (0x05e4) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For MIDI class devices
---------------+---------------+--------------------------------------------
-
-Note that Windows caches the textual product- and vendor-description for
-mice, keyboards and joysticks. Name-bsed discrimination is therefore not
-recommended for these device classes.
-
-
-=======================================
-IDs FOR DISCRIMINATION BY SERIAL NUMBER
-=======================================
-
-If you use one of the IDs listed below, your device and host-side software
-must conform to these rules:
-
-(1) The USB device MUST provide a textual representation of the serial
-number. The serial number string MUST be available at least in USB language
-0x0409 (English/US).
-
-(2) The serial number MUST start with either an Internet domain name (e.g.
-"mycompany.com") registered and owned by you, or an e-mail address under your
-control (e.g. "myname@gmx.net"), both terminated with a colon (":") character.
-You MAY append any string you like for further discrimination of your devices.
-
-(3) You are responsible for retaining ownership of the domain or e-mail
-address for as long as any of your products are in use.
-
-(5) Application side device look-up MUST be based on the serial number string
-in addition to VID/PID matching. The matching must start at the first
-character of the serial number string and include the colon character
-terminating your domain or e-mail address. It MAY stop anywhere after that.
-
-(6) For devices which implement a particular USB device class (e.g. HID), the
-operating system's default class driver MUST be used. If an operating system
-driver for Vendor Class devices is needed, this driver must be libusb or
-libusb-win32 (see http://libusb.org/ and
-http://libusb-win32.sourceforge.net/).
-
-Table if IDs for discrimination by serial number string:
-
-PID dec (hex) | VID dec (hex) | Description of use
-===============+===============+===========================================
-10200 (0x27d8) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For Vendor Class devices with libusb
----------------+---------------+-------------------------------------------
-10201 (0x27d9) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For generic HID class devices (which are
- | | NOT mice, keyboards or joysticks)

-10202 (0x27da) | 5824 (0x16c0) | For USB Mice
