Hi all. I posted these two mailers yesterday on the USB forum, and I figure someone here on the ST40 forum might be able to help:

Post #1
I've spent a few hours setting up the ST40-Connect unit to play over USB from my Win2000 PC. I've installed the driver, but I think my stumbling block is the 'st40run.cfg' file, which defines the target.

target brn3SysIt2 bkends4si "-little -ip 172.31.51.103 -linkspeed 5MHz" STB1_BM_config

This has been working fine over the LAN, but over USB I cannot detect target. I know the ST-Connect manual says USB is supported for Win98/2000. Any ideas?

Post #2
Getting closer.
When first connecting the STMicroConn via USB, the PC installs the driver "htiusb.sys". The PC recognizes the STMicroConn just fine as a USB device.
However, "st40run.exe" doesn't like it. When specifying the "target" identifiers in "st40run.cfg", the second argument is the DLLFILE. This file should be placed in the WinNT\lib directory under $ST40_ROOT, which is where I found "bkends4si.dll".

target brn3SysIt2 bkends4si "-little -ip 172.31.51.103 -linkspeed 5MHz" STB1_BM_config

I changed my Enet driver "bkends4si" (with understood .dll suffix) to "htiusb", but naturally the .sys suffix was wrong. I do not have a "htiusb.dll" to use, and it is not supplied with the STMicroConn v1.5 install disk.

I strongly believe I need the file "htiusb.dll". Does anyone know where to find it, or how to generate it??

Update:
Tech support has said that the ST-Connect box, which supports both ST20 and ST40, does not work the same for the both of them when it comes to the invoking executable.
This means that the ST20 utilities (I'm told) do work over parallel port and USB as well as ethernet. However the ST40 utilities only support ethernet. More as the story develops.
