ABSTRACT:
A system and method for establishing communication between a host computer and a peripheral device. The host computer includes logic for associating an attached peripheral device with one of a particular peripheral device type, logic for associating the attached peripheral device with an instance of a software driver executable on the processor, and logic for enabling communication between the attached device and the host after a set period of time after detection of the attachment of the USB device to the at least one port. The software driver is preferably capable of supporting communication between peripheral devices of the associated particular type and the host.
