USB on A1200?

[Oldsmobile_Mike]

and the latest driver is down in the page with this link under "Software Downloads."  Fixed me right up.

Good find! :hammer:

He sure buries that info in the page. lol. :lol:

Yes.  I had the problem with my new A4000D and coming to find out it has one of the older 3640s.

Information on the RapidRoad here, and the latest driver is down in the page with this link under "Software Downloads."  Fixed me right up.  Oh, so it says it requires Thor's mmu.library.

I fekken love my X-Surf 100 and RapidRoad.  The only thing which prevents it from replacing my Deneb is the lack of FlashROM (oh, and the number of USB ports: two for the RR and either three or four for the Deneb of which I make judicious use.)

lucky you! I don't even have a 3640 in my A4000D, I have a CyberStorm MKIII and no luck at all with getting RR to work

Has any one tried X-Surf version of Rapid Road with Buddha's clock port? I have understand that A1200 has quite lot noise and that why it is more epensive.

Mike - I did read both of them, twice... But like I said my know how is obviously leaving me short.   (I had to read and copy the instructions for using TLS1 on iBrowse 4 times before it finally worked.) So right now my short coming is not understanding exactly what and how the Clock port is and works. Sorry, but thanks for the help.

Hi Brad,

I'm not trying to come across as a smart-ass, but if you don't even know what the clock port is, it's going to be very challenging for you to add USB support to an A1200.  That doesn't mean it can't be done, thousands of people have done it before you, but just be prepared that you're going to have to spend a lot of time reading and researching.  It's not just "pop in a card and go" like you might be familiar with on a modern PC.  

You might want to start with this:

hrrmmmm the 4000D into which I want to install this has a CSMKIII... now I am curious and have to add this to my long list of things to try.

Do you want USB just because it would be cool to have (which is a totally valid reason, of course)? If not, maybe you should weigh the pros and cons - USB solutions for Amiga are expensive and hard to find.

Unless your A1200 is supposed to be used for modern desktop computing tasks only, USB input devices are a no-go since they don't work with Amiga games. Having two mice connected to an A1200 is just weird, IMHO. And using a 600dpi mouse with a 640x256 display doesn't sound like a perfect fit to me.

Nobody's using scanners or tablets on an A1200 anymore, that leaves USB storage devices. A 5 € PCMCIA network card and the free AmiTCP 3 from Aminet will let you connect your A1200 to your local network. Much cheaper and more comfortable than transferring files using USB sticks...

Hi, No my dream is to have a CD/DVD drive and Thumb drive/SSA Card reader and my internet connection all running at the same time. Meaning my PCMCIA slot is for internet connection only.  Thanks Brad Hansen

I doubt you would be able to get a USB CD/DVD drive to work with an Amiga.
