Deneb questions

[motorollin]

Since Poseidon can be inserted in to the Deneb's flash ROM, does that mean USB devices can be used from cold boot? Can USB keyboards, mice and mass storage be seen even if booting without startup-sequence, or if booting from a floppy? Does the mouse work in early startup? Does the USB stack still run within the flash ROM if you run non-system-friendly software such as WHDLoad? If so will a USB joystick work in such games?

TIA

I suspected as much, though I was hoping that it being in the flash ROM might make it different to just running as an application. Thanks for letting me know though.

@alexh
I'm guessing there's a reason why they had to turn off multitasking. Perhaps they could allow Poseidon to run but nothing else? That would mean multitasking couldn't be turned off completely. It would have to be restricted to the game which is running and Poseidon. But I have no idea if that's even possible, or if it would cause problems with the running of the game.
