TashTalk USB

I can actually test that since I have a LocalTalk compatible printer on my desk at the moment (the same one that broke the original TashTalk firmware!).

On a related note. Is the USB VID/PID expected to be stable with the TashTalk USB dongles? I have setup auto-detect with that VID/PID plus a device name of "TashTalk USB". This isn't set in stone (its in python and easily changed). I just don't want to be TOO specific with the device in case something does change in the future.

At least for my version yes, I don’t think I’ll likely ever change the USB chip out unless it went out of production. But there was another device here that is based on a Pi Pico that speaks TashTalk that I know of: https://github.com/hanshuebner/tashtalk-pico. I am unsure if he plans to mass produce them though.

Otherwise the current VID+PID and the device name / manufacturer fields should be the same for every device including the ones Joe at JCM makes (at least based on the emails I spoke to him on).
