USB Device Controller



I talked to NetChip people at the PCI+ Show last week in Santa Clara Convention 
Center. There are not many solutions available on the market yet, and the 
NetChip Net2888 and Intel 8x930 are the only two solutions.

>From the architecture point of view, these two chips are fundamentally 
different. The 8x930 is more of an "8051 Microcontroller" with an integrated USB 
interface, whereas the Net2888 is a quick "USB hook" to a generic CPU bus.

>per frame) and Bulk transfers.
