USB Video Card
« on: January 31, 2006, 03:16:08 AM »
Forgive me if I'm repeating info, searched forum and didn't see this one.
Anyway someone mentioned writing a driver for a PCMCIA video device. What about a USB 2.0 external video device. Could a driver be written for one of these devices for a usb 2.0 equiped amiga? Seems there would be the bandwith lacking in the 16 bit cardbus idea. Just a thought.

Yes it is a full VGA Graphics display card made to connect to a PC Via USB 2.0 It was intended for multiple monitor option or a better display for PC laptops. It can mirror, extend or become the primary video display. They have been on the market for a few years I think. As for USB 2.0 on
Amiga it looks like this can be done with a mediator card and spider usb

Yea I guess the USB via trap door would be the only compelling reason to do this. Still would be neat if someone wrote drivers for it anyway just for kicks.
At lest that would give people that already have USB amigas a toy to play around with.
