Ah finally the news has come out! bunnyboy was gracious enough to send me one to test out a while back and I've given it a good workout, and it works great! Was good timing too, because I had just gotten a new PC, and it had no parallel port Much more stable and error-free communication, it was very annoying in the par port version to be stepping thru something in MicroBug and then have the connection stall on you!
My NES cart DB software already supports this transparently, if it doesn't detect CopyNES on the par port, it will automatically switch to USB mode.

Music to my ears, Jagasian, music to my ears.
The problem with FDS loader is that it's SUPER timing sensitive, from what Kyuusaku tells me. A USB solution would never work, as far as I know, at least not using the same software code. Kyuusaku can explain it better than me, but I think if you were to build some external logic to take this issue away from the PC itself it could be done, but not with simple FDSLoadr cables, which have really nothing to them, just wires.
BTW, I just bought one. I don't think the button was there 5 minutes ago when I started my post.
