Excellent work - it's all of a high quality and well-written. It's just the kind of stuff the wiki needs. A big thanks from me

Your English skills are impeccable, I cannot find any obvious typos.

I hate you.

Absolutely

The wiki still needs more information on the host controllers, usb hubs, and popular usb device classes. I figure there is a stronger need for EHCI and OHCI articles before a UHCI article, because it seems easier to find a hobby OS developer that has braved implementing UHCI and has had at least some success. I've had a lot of success with EHCI and hope to start that entry soon, and (in accordance with my observation regarding UHCI) I've been familiarizing myself with OHCI. I'm not certain if I have access to an OHCI chip set, though

I've been considering a tutorial style entry to sort of jump-start USB support for those who maybe have trouble understanding the lengthy USB article (perhaps due to a language barrier), or for those who just need to start seeing some results before they manage to become excited enough to want to understand (or otherwise interested in learning) the gory details.

It would be interesting to see more announcement/test requests for USB-enabled operating systems

If it makes you feel any better, I've found (and corrected) some typos and grammatical errors. I've also noticed some run-on sentences that I'll need to reword.

To the same effect, the comma could be replaced with a conjunction, or a period (preferably with a prepositional phrase applied to the second sentence).

5 stars

Fantastic article! Thank you.

I appreciate the acclamations! Hopefully during christmas break I'll get some more entries going. I hope to eventually cover the following, probably in this order:

• USB Hubs
• EHCI
• OHCI
• UHCI
• Mass Storage Device Class
• Human Input Device Class
• Perhaps a USB Subsystem tutorial.

I know a couple of you guys have (basic? full?) UHCI support, and I know there is at least one guy working on UHCI with Human Input Device Class devices (he contacted me via PM). I know it takes a lot of effort to come up with some good technical writing (which, obviously, such writing would be favorable for the wiki here), but I think at least putting together a stub entry for the time being to at least point developers in the right direction would be beneficial. That is, of course, only if you have the time, because I will eventually write the entire entry if no one else has done so (and if anyone else has the time to do so, by all means! just please contact me if you want to write something which is near the top of that list).
