I'm sure that's true.

2 strictly uses USB control operations for both input and output wehreas 3 does 
input via endpoint 81 and output via endpoint 01.

We currently use 2, as mentioned earlier, for the HID versions of the Easy 
Braille and the Braille Star 40. We also use it for something (I'm not sure 
what, exactly it is) that we call a USB-HID adapter.

We use 3 for the Active Braille, the Basic Braille, the Active Star, and the 
Connect Braille.

Is it possible that the difference really should be based on firmware version 
rather than one device type? In other words, is it possible that older 
HID-based firmware does it one way and that newer HID-based firmware does it 
the other way?
