USB Camera on Amiga?

[Kurt]

Easy you need a USB board for your amiga and the POSIDEON USB stack for your Amiga

I have a SPIDER USB 2.0 card from Elbox
all I do is plug my Sony camcorder into the USB port and it apears on my desktop just like a floppy or a CDROM I can copy,format,make drawers rename,and transfer files just like you do everything else on the Amiga. I also purchased a PNY Seven in One USB 2.0 media reader I plug in a smart media,flash,memorystick, they apear on my desktop and I can tranfer files back and forth,
even between the different media faster than most hard drives.
play back my MPEG's using Frogger use multiview to display the JPG's. Posideon also includes drivers for a Aptec's  Three in one Pen Camera if you have VHI you can use your USB camera as a Web Camera.

Posideon can be purchased from IOSPIRIT http://www.iospirit.de/ for About $20.00 American. Cost on Amiga USB cards depends on your Amiga setup. but they all use the Posideon Software some cards come with a licensed version included others just supply the drivers and you have to purchase Posideon on your own.

I havn't tried to use a USB mouse or Keyboard since my mouse and keyboard adapters are outstanding. My scanners are SCSI and my printers use Par. ports so there I Haven't tried to use a USB version of them. But they are supported.

There is also a Posideon list on egroups

tony's right you need the fat 95 filesystem installed on your system first

after you install that make sure the example UMSD from the poseidon stack is in your storage/dosdrivers directory. Don't try to mount it!!

In trident make sure that the Masstorage device setting Fat file system points to the fat95 filesystem you just installed (L:fat95)


Sorry for all speeling mistakes and other giberish its 3:45 AM  I have to get up at 6:30 for work. Too little sleep is making me abit loopy  so goodnight all.

 My Sony,Olympus,Sharp cameras use Fat95 and work fine when connected to my Amiga. The PNY reader works great in USB 1.1 mode and sometimes needs to be unpluged and repluged for USB 2.0 mode ( Works the same in my PC and Amiga except in my Amiga when it goes nuts my Amiga does not see it in my PC it tries to format installed media )but the Sandisk smartmedia reader does not work on my Amiga it needs special drivers.
