A500 Parallel to USB adapter looking awesome!
« on: February 03, 2015, 04:45:30 PM »
A guy over at EAB has prototyped a small USB board that connects to the parallel port of an A500 using AOS1.3. It talks directly to the CIA chips and does not use a USB stack! He has some timing issues to work out in software but this looks really promising.

Here's the VDIP1 board on ebay...

This would be great for creating ADFs to an external floppy drive directly from a USB stick - even better if you have an A590! Yea, I know all about the GoTeks... this is so simple and elegant though! :)
