Individual Computer's USB module

[danbeaver]

While looking around I found an image and brief description of the USB module for the X-Surf 100; it appears to also have a Clockport that allows connection to an A600/1200 and other such Clockports.  It was on the main page at Amigaworld.de

It provides 2 full USB 2.0 ports running at 480 Mbits/s per the Google translation.

I don't know about danbeaver's picture, but a couple of photos can be found in Jens' (german) thread he started at a1k.org in december.

My family has my picture, but the one I referred to above on the http://www.amigaworld.de site is within the group of pictures above.

Jens worked out a license with Chris about a year ago and I commented on it then, way before the X-Surf 100 was released.

To me it is more about function than speed; USB adds so much more function in terms of keyboards, mice, printers, sound (I have a dongle branded Amigo), and cameras.  IF you need to boot off a USB device, I believe you can with the Deneb, but why?  I just slip in a CF card in the top back of my A4000T and boot what ever; great for off-site backups of partitions.  I use my CSPPC for everything else.

The module is now shipping and is €99 (19% vat added) for the non-clockport version -- X-surf 100 -- and €129 for the clockport version.  They can be ordered from Jens icomp.de and non-EU cost run $106 USD plus 3.9% PayPal and shipping costs.  The clockport version is identical to the plain version except the corrective timing electronics needed for the A1200 is inactive.

Jens says on a Z3 X-Surf 100 that with an accelerator one can see 7 Mb/s speed over the USB port.

Do you have to wind up the clockwork version for it to work?

And I thought the iPhone's auto correct was bad, this is Android kitkat version in overdrive.

Mine arrived today from Jens' web site (payment via paypal) with an order date of 22-OCT-2014 and here, in Guam, it is 1-NOV-2014.  Not too shabby a transient time IMHO.

The new version of Poseidon is 4.5 downloaded from Jens' Wiki site and has the usb device driver for the add-on card
