 		The library is called <i>libusb-driver</i> as it was developed to support the USB cable, but later
 		extended to also support parallel cables.

+		<P><B>News</B> (<I>2008-03-26</I>): Xilinx has released their own drivers based on libusb with ISE Design Suite 10.1.
+		To use them, you need to set the environment-variable <kbd>XIL_IMPACT_USE_LIBUSB</kbd> to <kbd>1</kbd>
+		before running the tools. The driver on this page no longer needs to be preloaded if you only used
+		it to access USB cables. Parallel port support still seems to rely on <i>windrvr</i>, which can be
+		emulated by <i>libusb-driver</i>.</P>
+		<P><B>Using 32-bit ISE 10.1 on a 64-bit platform:</B> When using the 32-bit JTAG tools from ISE Design
+		Suite 10.1 on a 64-bit machine, the tools will not connect to the cable but output the following
+		error: <I>Cable operation is not supported when running the 32-bit version of the application on a
+		64-bit platform.</I>
+		To fix this, run the tools with <KBD>linux32</KBD> or preload the newest 32-bit version of
+		<i>libusb-driver</i>. This will lead the tools to believe that they are running on a 32-bit
+		platform and allows them to connect to the cable.
