Yes please.
I'm resending this B. McFerrin quote to help more people see it.
I think replies to debate the merits of the proposal should go to one of
the other threads, since we need a simple short thread left open to
collect any awareness any of us have of actual common uses of USB
bInterfaceSubClass code 02h within USB bInterfaceClass 08h Mass Storage.
So far all we have is debatable theory, no real world examples.
Is anyone aware of any current use of USB bInterfaceSubClass 02h?
Hope this helps,
