This link says that antusb1 is 'obsolete' and that you should use other ANT sticks:

1. When did these get the 'end of life' status?

2. I have a Tacx T1991 (ANT+ sport). Is there a way to tell from the labels on the stick whether it is antusb1 or antusb2?

3. I'm using the ant_lib project in
....\ANT_Windows_Library_Package_v3.0\ANT_LIB
to talk to antusb2 sticks and that works fine, eg, new Garmin and Suunto sticks.

I've found that this library does not connect to antusb1 sticks. The problem looks like it is in
USBDeviceHandle::GetAllDevices()

This fails for the Tacx stick.

Will this ANT_LIB work with the older sticks?

2. Not really, as each manufacturer is free to design their own labeling

3. The libraries should work for older sticks; make sure the DSI... dlls are in the working directory of the application. There are more details on this on the readme.txt file included in the library package.
