In my case, it's a one host to multiple device setup, but because the

for the USB network.

I need to control just one exact device, so there's even (a bit) less
work.

I had a quick look at the AT90USB64/128 data*** and it appears that things
have been simplified in this controller, but it appears there's still quite
a bit of the housekeeping to do that you would have to do in a stack for a
more general purpose controller. Does Atmel provide a sample USB host stack
for it's microcontrollers ?

Some software is available for the AT90USBKey demonstration board on
Atmel's site, but I'm still waiting for a reply from them to be able to
check the sources (they are on ZIP archives with passwords).

Before buying hardware, the OP (if he has not done it already) should read
through his intended USB host controller datasheets, the usb.org documents
and the datasheets for his intended USB device(s) in order to get an idea
of how much work is involved.

That's where I am right now.

PS: And before anyone asks, no, my code is not available. :-)

Ouch! :-(

Not even with a pretty pretty please, with lots of sugar on top? I can
change the sugar for Xylitol, if you want...
