Post by thread:[EE]USB VID/PIDs from Microchip

Further to discussions a while ago regarding getting a USB VID - I Just spotted this http://www.microchip.com/stellent/idcplg?IdcService=SS_GET_PAGE&nodeId=1824&appnote=en024259 USB-IF, Inc. has licensed USB Vendor ID No. 0x04D8 (?VID?) to Microchip Technology Inc. (?Microchip?). If you agree to the following terms, Microchip may in its sole discretion sublicense the VID, and assign a Product ID number (?PID?), to you free of charge (?Sublicense?).

Indeed, and I seem to remember you weren't charging much anyway, so there may still be a reason to buy in ID from you. Now they're selling network components, it's a shame they won't do the same for MAC addresses - at the seminar in England a few months back they stated categorically that they aren't going to do that.
