Just try dict: - No definitions found for "isosynchronous" - 2 definitions found From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]: Isochronous \I*soch"ro*nous\, a. [Gr. ?; ? equal + ? time.] Same as {Isochronal}. From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (09 FEB 02) [foldoc]: isochronous <communications> /i:-sok'rn-*s/ A form of data transmission that guarantees to provide a certain minimum {data rate}, as required for time-dependent data such as {video} or {audio}. Isochronous transmission transmits asynchronous data over a synchronous data link so that individual characters are only separated by a whole number of bit-length intervals. This is in contrast to {asynchronous} transmission, in which the characters may be separated by arbitrary intervals, and with {synchronous} transmission [which does what?]. {Asynchronous Transfer Mode} and {High Performance Serial Bus} can provide isochronous service. Compare: {plesiochronous}.

That is, I believe, apropos to the intended meaning of the comment above.

Isosynchronous is (was?) not an English word. Oh, but we aren't speaking English - this is about USB devices.

I did a grep on the USB docs directory and it is full of isosynchronous, but those are all fragments from the net. The actual standards correctly use isochronous. Sorry.
