Back on June 9 2003, OSNews posted an article by Joshua Boyles entitled "The Edge Computing System". In that article Joshua lays out his vision, "of a new and very unique computing system". In this new article, an attempt will be made to further build on Jonathan's ideas through what can be termed, "Open Peripheral Hardware Connectivity".

I enjoyed your article, and it's something I've had a gripe about for a long time. It would make sense to me (and be much easier for the OSs) if, instead of the OS interpreting the electrical signals from the device according to software which must be intalled, you should have the electrical signals sent from the device standardized, so that everything is natively supported, which is exactly what you said (I think). You would have one driver for everything (well, one for every type of device).
