The USB port on the ARM board isn't a host port. It's a device port and you can connect it only to a host (PC) or a hub.

Currently it's only used for initial firmware upload (any further flash updates can be made from an SD-Card) or to revive bricked boards.

With appropriate software support it could be used for virtuallization of serial and/or parallel port.


Which Controller are you using?

Well that's buggered that idea.  Mind you, using it as a parallel port might have some uses.

Mind you, the C-One has a couple of A1200 clock ports.  Perhaps a Subway could be connected to them if they were active withing the Minimig environment.
