Multiple connection support #224

Closed fatihusta closed 3 years ago

fatihusta commented 3 years ago

Hi, Is it possible to use multiple connection for one shared USB device?

Steveo10 commented 3 years ago

Hi, I have the same question, I have been doing tests and apparently I think that it cannot be done since when another client connects, the shared resource stops working, but I don't know.

someone has already made the multiple connection work?

Yes, someones says this is not technically possible.

But

I found some devices. Specially smartlogic device shows this is possible. This device share via USB or Network.

I think this device dumping or cloning to virtual device and share. Specially sentinel dongle devices.

Also they are thinking this is not legal. So this is not implemented.

Also this project says it's possible if I understand correctly.
