Subway USB questions
« on: January 17, 2011, 05:23:49 AM »
Anyone have this device?

What have you used it for, and how did it work?

Things I am possibly interested in using it for:

USB storage
CD ROM drive or burner
Ethernet adapter
Printer (if possible)

I know the speed isn't going to be amazing, so curious what it will work for.

yeah, stuffing too much on the clockport Im sure would get problematic.

I can live without burning CD's if it can read them at least. Main concern is old magazine cover CD's and stuff

Remember you must disable Poseidon (Subway stack) when using WHDLoad so it's only useful with system-friendly programs.


Believe it or not, but I may be the last person on earth to not use WHDLoad, so thats not a worry. Appreciate the warning though :)

Very reassuring guys, and sounds like a great way to really breathe a lot of life into the amiga :)
 
I decided to go with a PCMCIA option for networking, so the USB will be for storage and possibly CD ROM.
