this is 100% protocol/vendor dependent. There is an option to add version information to standard usb device descriptors, but assuming that every usb pen will use same mechanism is wrong.

After hunting around for a little while I found the following links which may point you in the right direction.

  1. Alan Macek
  2. USB-IF Developers Area

Edit: Mind you, you could just consult the Registry, which also stores info re the currently connected USB device. See Tracing USB Devices on XP
