I have no experience from USB on OS4/Sam/A1, but from what I read the OS4 USB merely supports a fraction of Poseidon's supported devices, it only support USB 1 and is quite buggy at the moment, like not recognizing devices and/or dropping devices already connected and corrupting files.


You going for overstatement of the year? Yes Poseidon has support for more devices, but the difference is not big enough to constitute "a fraction." Yes Sirion has no USB 2.0 drivers, but it is not "quite buggy." In fact, it's been really stable on my system. I have NOT had any issues with dropping devices or corrupted filed. All devices that I have ever plugged in are recognized, even if a driver is not available to use it. Moreover, Sirion is still actively being developed. The shortcomings will be solved.

To answer the original question, USB works on the SAM motherboard, but at USB 1.1 speeds only. USB 2.0 drivers are in the works, but you'll have to wait a bit. In the meantime, USB 1.1 is completely usable.
