Hi, I want to read and write bytes from the USB port, I want to
replace all the 'ReadFile' and 'WriteFile' in my program with 
something like ReadUSB(), and WriteUSB(), I understood that I 
have to use some DDK file from Microsoft site for writting a 
driver that can read/write from the USB.

The question is: where can I find a working driver that do that?
I'm sure that many people before me needed that and already 
wrote the driver so I don't have to write it by myself, where
can I find this driver? Can you give me a direct link please?

Thanks very much.

I have not used RapidDriver but it might be worth looking into.

Thanks very much, looks like a good start-point, although that
even this doesn't look so easy, it's not just a copy-paste code
that I can copy to my application, is it the easiest solution?

Try libusb from sourceforge. It is free, easy and quite good
