geek stuff: The return of USB

Posted by deepquest on June 3, 2003 – 6:44 pm

Want to connect your toothbrush, coffee machine, or even fan to your usb port? Get ready to buy a usb hub and connect all those usb gadget to computer.

usually USB (1 or 2) was created to be able to connect “a la” hotplug some devices such mouse, keyboard, cd burners etc… In fact many other products can be connected to your computer, would it mean that you’re life is organised around a computer? Humm Maybe!

Feel to submit you’re usb gizmos, the only rule is that they have to run OSX like those I posted. Most device use the electrical power from the usb port, the computer doesn’t need any control on the device so no drivers!
