Hardware, Embedded Systems 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".

no drivers......

their would be no device specific drivers. each device would interface via the standard protocal for that type of device. Like printers or mouses. each advancement in the interface would include an updated interface to expand options available in new devices, but remain backwards compatible with old devices by still using the base set of calls. to print you would require just a single print driver than would allow you to print on all printers.
