Could USB ever take over PCI
Internally speaking, for your motherboard bus. Would it be possible for a usb standard to be used in place of the PCI or PCIe bus that is now nearly standard on all PC's? If not, why wouldn't this work?

usb-devices(8) Linux USB Utilities usb-devices(8)
NAME
usb-devices - print USB device details
SYNOPSIS
usb-devices
DESCRIPTION
usb-devices is a (bash) shell script that can be used to display details of USB buses in the system and the devices connected to them.
The output of the script is similar to the usb/devices file available either under /proc/bus (if usbfs is mounted), or under /sys/ker-
nel/debug (if debugfs is mounted there). The script is primairily intended to be used if the file is not available.
In contrast to the usb/devices file, this script only lists active interfaces (those marked with a "*" in the usb/devices file) and their
endpoints.
Be advised that there can be differences in the way information is sorted, as well as in the format of the output.
RETURN VALUE
If sysfs is not mounted, a non-zero exit code is returned.
FILES
/sys/bus/usb/devices/usb*
The part of the sysfs tree the script walks through to assemble the printed information.
/proc/bus/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernels before 2.6.31, if usbfs is mounted.
/sys/kernel/debug/usb/devices
Location where the usb/devices file can normally be found for Linux kernel 2.6.31 and later, if debugfs is mounted.
