I'll be watching this project. I hope you can keep advancing it. Maybe put a note on the README about version compatibility and a call to action for testing new versions as they come out?

Unfortunately this doesn't fix any of the confusing bullshit around USB versions and specs and port shapes. And it muddies the issue by mixing "3" and "2" with "C", which describe entirely different things
