Ahh interesting - is that a ECHI hardware limitation or a driver one?

Yes it's using bulk transfers.

I did consider isochronous transfers when I started this project but I =
wasn't sure if there would be enough bandwidth (but perhaps I read the =
spec wrong). I imagine there would be enough for this data rate but we =
have others at higher speeds (eg 35MB/sec).

Related to bandwidth - are there any statistics gathered about how busy =
a port is?

Thanks
