I don't think so, Isochronous USB transfers are not planned at all so that rules out most USB soundcards


That's a er... "brave" decision.

If I can run a USB sound card on my Amiga 4000 with OS 3.9 or OS 4 (via Poseidon), why can't MorphOS do it?

Edit: Just to point out - OS 4 can't do it natively either - but I strongly imagine support is at least planned.

Poseidon supports isochronous transfers if the underlying device supports it. Deneb driver supports it, pciusb.device doesn't, that's all. And MorphOS on an Amiga would also support it, by the way. ;)


Yeah, that's why I wanted to point out that OS 4 doesn't natively support it either. Only fair.

It does seem strange to not even support it, though - I mean USB 2 is the standard for practically everything these days. If I were working on MOS I'd prioritise that over supporting another type of machine any day. But then I don't know what the MOS team are working on....

I wanted to, actually, but it never supported my Prometheus, so I couldn't.
My point wasn't that AOS 4 was better than MOS - it's not, it's the same, here - but that MOS (and AOS) are actually behind OS 3 - at least when you include third party software. It's a bit crazy that the only Amiga to be able to do isochronous connections is the 20 year-old A3000/A4000, especially when USB is by far the standard interface these days.
