New Zorro based USB card.

[Colmiga]

Robert (the designer) came around to our user group meeting tonight with his Thylacine cards. They look great and he's currently in the process of making USB ethernet adaptor drivers for it as well (no modem or camera drivers yet though). We're going to be testing these cards for him in our Amiga's (including mine) at our next user group workshop meeting (July 14). Once I've seen it in action I might actually buy one as I would like USB in my A4000. At AU124.95 it's quite reasonable for classic Amiga hardware and it would show appreciation for his effort if he sold a few as the guy appears to have used his own time and money to design it.

I've posted a pic I took of the Thylacine at last night's meeting on our user group's website:

I'll be taking some more pics of it actually running at our next meeting (July 14).

According to Robert (the designer), there should be no difference in speed.

I will ask Robert more in depth about this but the impression I got last night was that it will use similar software (don't quote me on that).

If it runs as well as he says it does than I'm definately putting in a pre-order.
