Deneb Zorro II/III DMA USB 2.0 controller available

[platon42]

While I can't change the price, it'd like to point out that your not "only" getting a USB 2.0 host controller, but also 4 MB of flashrom (eFlash 1+1MB 50 EUR, Kickflash 1MB 40 EUR), Poseidon V4.0 (V3.x was sold at 38 EUR), get the ability to use USB Soundcards (a feature not available to any other USB solution on the Amiga market) which can be obtained for less than 10 EUR (Delfina 130 EUR), can use USB Ethernet Adapters also available for less than 20 EUR (XSurf >100 EUR), use IDE or SATA adapters to reach speeds more than twice of the internal IDE even in PIO mode, and many more devices than just the usual mouse/keyboard stuff. Ah, and there's a clockport too.

We really spent a good time on developing this beast (about three years from thought to various prototypes as depicted on the E3B website). I think the price is pretty good considering this.

@Platon42 :

can I use a usb joypad with amiga games which are not "WB" friendly ?

No. If multitasking is disabled, there's no USB stack running, thus no joypad support there.

I'd be interested to know the kind of performance you can get from the ethernet adaptors (with amitcp and miami). Miami is a fair amount slower i know (Shame roadshow was never available to buy for os3.x/m68k).

My last speed tests with MiamiDx with between Deneb with ASIX Ethernet 100MBit, A4000T/60@50MHz and MiamiDx, Pegasos 2 using tcpspeed (non-native) were about 800KB/sec in both directions.

The DENEB autoconfigures by a chained config request, with one 64kB card (FlashROM) and one 128kB card (USB). Both cards are I/O, but can also life in the normal memory space.

Not quite. 128 KB in total, both USB and flash rom boards are 64 KB. We optimized the I/O space for Zorro II, so that the 64 KB are enough ;-)
