 		 #162372 - Not sure Windows can do it
Responding to: ???'s previous message
I don't think Windows supports any interface besides possibly FireWire that handles speeds higher than 10Mbit/s of synchronous data. The receiving hardware must have a quite large buffer to make sure that the device can buffer for a while in case the Windows kernel gets involved doing something else in any critical section somewhere.

I think I would prefer a uC with some form of buffer memory and then send in the data at a slower speed or with flow control.

The question here is how many such devices you need, i.e. how price sensitive you are.
