I have a build of my code for Mitsulogger that I was intending to get working with the PDA once I pick up a personal unit in the next few weeks.
I have sucessfully gotten standard serial-usb devices to work and the tactrix cable shares the same FTDI chipset as many of them.
Obviously Mitsulogger and ECUFlash compliment eachother, so it only makes sense to have both work on CE.

I'm actually targetting this device.. which is definitely windows mobile 5.0.. I may then try to support other older devices. I'm driving an 2003 Evolution (USDM)

But I'm in the process of verifying it has the correct USB Host support, once I can verify it, I'm going to get one off Ebay..

The following relates to Windows Mobile 5.0 or later (but may also apply to CE/PocketPC)
- Mobile device hardware must include a controller chip (many do).
- If so, drivers for the host controller are included in Windows
- Windows mobile drivers can be developed using various SDKs that enable cross-platform compatibility.
I will try and find a list of devices w/ host controllers.
