[hpsdr] usb driver install etc...

[n3evl]

Mercury has arrived and so has my nice new Quad4 PC which are both being 
moved into my nice new shack in the recently finished basment.  I'm in the 
process of setting up the new PC to handle my existing hardware config which 
consists of SDR-1000 with HPSDR Atlas/Ozy/Janus.  Penelope is already in 
there and, of course, I plan to add Mercury to the mix asap.

Can somebody give me a reminder of where I get the appropriate usb driver. 
I have the entire svn repository checked out and see there are various usb 
files in the kd5tfd branch but I can't remember which is the one to use.  I 
want to make sure the one I get is compatible with Mercury in the event 
anything changed at the driver level.

Are there separate usb drivers intended for use with HPSDR vs Flex SDR-1000 
using the usb-parallel cable?  Or is it all one and the same?

My ultimate goal is to run HPSDR and the SDR-1000 as two independent 
transcievers ( I guess I'll need a parallel port added to the PC since I 
seem to remember reading that two instances of PowerSDR on the same PC 
cannot talk to two usb ports simultaneously - please correct if wrong).

Thanks to all the HSPDR developers - looking forward to hearing Mercury 
soon.

73, Happy New Year,
