Back when USB1.1 first arrived on the scene, I became interested in making my own USB devices. I was using Microchip CPUs (before they started integrating USB on-chip) and I needed a USB interface chip. I chose Cypress because their solution seemed the easiest to work with. They sent me two of their old-school SL811 Host/Slave controllers (no longer in production). All had to do was read the entire USB spec and program some firmware. Believe it or not, this is fun for me.
