   I think I've discovered why USBcfg hangs when Lars drivers are in use.   
      
   The driver build level detection code in USBcfg is looking for a string    
   starting with a '@' followed by a '#' and ending with a '#' - ie    
   @#IBM:10.162#   
      
   Lars drivers id string starts with '@@' - ie @@#Lars Erdmann:10.163#   
      
      
   So, USBcfg is probably "going around in circles" trying to find the    
   "standard" build level identifier string.   
      
   Looks like I'll have to add this to the list of minor bits to do on the    
   next update of USBcfg - unless Lars reverts to the "standard" identifier    
   string with just the 1 '@'.   
      
   Regards   
      
   Pete
