No kidding! I've been a bit weary of trying out a bit of playing around with a PIC and a USB. Previously, I've only used the FTDI chips or the CP2102/2103 combo's. This little application could save me a fair amount of PCB space.

Question in regards to the onchip transceiver. Where would one NEED or prefer to use an external transceiver for the USB, or, conversely, where would one want to use the internal transceiver exclusively?

And BTW, thanks a lot, mister_e. Now I've got another project to play...like I don't have enough to play with to keep me up late at night as it is
